Marks & Spencer is currently building the UK’s largest commercial rooftop system to power its distribution centre in Castle Donigton. The department store is the latest big British brand to adopt solar power following the example set by the likes of Jaguar Land Rover, Sainsbury’s and BT. In related news, a recent study found that solar installations on commercial buildings can help boost property value. To all those who attended this year’s Solar Energy UK we are asking for your help to make next year’s event even better. All visitors have been emailed a post-show survey and we would be extremely grateful if you could fill it out with your thoughts.
