A huge thank you to our now 8,000 twitter followers!

OK it's super geeky, but our new Best Practice Manual for managing network outages, supported by @wpduk & @UKPNnews, could prevent £10 million wastage from UK solar farms! We love networks that know how to treat #solar good @energynetworks; https://t.co/zi5StOG5TG

Wow! https://t.co/7VQgPkCjnz

@SebPV @solarcentury Sorry to see you leave Seb, but thank you for the many years translating us through the political storms - that was invaluable for the industry. @thesolartrade wouldn’t have been the same without your invaluable support and contribution. Rest and enjoy your break.

@thesolartrade @Telegraph @BBCNews @Channel4News Wow what a great piece of history discovered in a newspaper article. The STA was incubated in 1975 and born in 1978 - a longer gestation, but an amazing delivery - come along tonight and celebrate #STA40 with young and old 🍺

[Solar Energy UK @SolarEnergyUK_]

Today is our 40th Birthday! Since 1978 thousands of hard-working individuals have taken solar from the obscure to the mainstream, clunky to sleek and irrelevant to essential. #STA40 🎂

[Léonie Greene #RejoinEU @LeonieGreene]

Really looking forward to our big 40th Birthday bash at City Hall on Thursday night with @tomheapmedia @PollyBillington @sabrodrigues61 @JeremyLeggett & many of you! Here's our official founder Dr Roy Swayne delivering a paper to @royalinstitute in 1994! #STA40

#Solar records broken thanks to the glorious levels of sunshine we have had recently, and all the solar farms our there!

'Pretty much everyone in the energy sector is asking, what IS the Government's energy policy?'. Catch our Director of New Markets @LeonieGreene on @Channel4News last night speaking about Government's lack of a policy framework for renewables (24.27) https://t.co/jqP70o4D67

A great day of Solar education to 9 year old children. This followed an early demonstration at the school with panels and light bulbs. Well done to everyone involved #solar @thesolartrade https://t.co/WdP2ZcMjLw

Yesterday we hosted a class of Year 4 boys from Yardley Court School at Hadlow Solar Park. They are learning about #renewableenergy so we showed them how it all works, while caring for the natural world! #FridayFeeling

[Angela Terry MSc MEI 🌍 @ANGETERRY]

During a sunny #heatwave it seems even more logical for the Government to support #solarpower. Here is @LeonieGreene on telly discussing the fantastic benefits of #RenewableEnergy to protect @ouronehome 😎👍📺 https://t.co/i4ct6bcX7K

[Solar Energy UK @SolarEnergyUK_]

Excellent news that this great scheme is being extended - London needs more solar 😎 https://t.co/sitQk8HnSQ

[British Solar Renewables (BSR) @BSRGroup_]

#Solar in the UK has been providing 8GW or more for the past seven days, generating 10% of energy in peak evening hours and up to 20% in the mornings. Read the Bloomberg @business analysis here - https://t.co/vL5q3rA8sd

[Sheffield Solar @ShefSolarF]

During the past week solar PV generated 533 GWh of electricity. This is a new record for a full week's generation. Five of the seven consecutive days yielded over 75 GWh. This is also a new record.
It's likely that this record will be broken again today. Enjoy the sun!

[Decerna @Decerna_limited]

Solar is 25.5% of UK electricity right now. @UNFCCC @DeSmogUK @thesolartrade @insideclimate @SolarCoin_SLR @openLCA @crisortunity @ClimateHome

A landmark day for #energycitizens and #energydemocracy!

#Citizens and #energycommunities now have an official place in #EU's #energytransition. @EUParl_EN & @EUCouncil agree on a new #Renewable Energy Directive.

Rewarding day educating school kids about solar power. To see the delight on their faces as they plug in a bulb and it lights up - oh so simple Solar.
