Internationally renowned European solar manufacturer Recom Technologies has launched its range of solar PV in the United Kingdom as Recom Technologies UK.

According to MCS (the Microgeneration Certification Scheme), solar panel installations increased by 114% in Q1 2023, from the same period in 2022. With demand set to continue to a predicted 17% in Q2 2023 according to the certification body.

Currently, the majority of solar PV installed in the UK comes from Chinese manufacturers, with around 80% of all solar panels and materials produced in China, despite solar tariffs imposed in 2018 and 2022. Launching its Black Tiger range in June, hailed as the highest-performing panel on the global solar market, the France-based manufacturer is looking to the UK for growth.

Managing Director of Recom UK Jon Camp said, “There is a huge opportunity for solar installations in the UK, and we want to support the supply of high-quality, EU-manufactured products. At any given time we keep 25mw of stock of PV solutions in Rotterdam which ready to be shipped, which allows us to supply solar solutions to anywhere in the UK with a short turnaround time.”

Mr Camp, who has previously led major environmental innovation projects in the global petrochemical sector also has an eye on the commercial and solar farms market. “Recom is the only Bloomberg Tier One accredited solar PV manufacturer in Europe,” Camp explains. “The growth of the solar market is increasingly attractive to investors, and we are ideally placed to support investors of large-scale projects.”
