A solar panel company is initiating a recruitment drive in response to the government’s upcoming mandate that requires the installation of solar panels on most new-build homes by 2027. Energy Secretary Ed Miliband emphasized this initiative as a step towards economic savings, noting that households could potentially save up to £500 annually on energy bills.

The forthcoming regulations will stipulate that developers must install solar panels, except in cases where properties are under specific exemptions like being overshadowed. Terry Hayward, managing director of Solar Select in Droitwich, highlighted the potential challenges in sourcing skilled labor to meet this demand. He underscored the necessity for companies to begin planning workforce training in anticipation of the 2027 deadline, ideally supported by government-backed apprenticeship opportunities.

Hayward stated, “It’s vital that the buildings have a sensible amount of panels installed.” His comments reflect a broader industry optimism regarding the legislation, as long as it aligns with practical installation standards.

The proposed changes will be incorporated into the Future Homes Standard, set to be published in the autumn, allowing for a transitional phase to help developers adapt. Furthermore, Green Party MP Ellie Chowns expressed her support for the initiative but urged caution, stressing that homes should also be well-insulated and resilient to environmental concerns like flooding and overheating.

As the industry gears up for this transition, the call for skilled labor offers a unique opportunity for individuals looking to enter the solar energy sector, contributing to a more sustainable future.

Jack Ayre

Born in North West England, Jack kicked off his career in the insurance arena, dealing with claims for three years. Always up for a challenge, Jack leapt out of his comfort zone and embarked upon 5 years of excitement with the military.

Working for the Ministry of Defence, Jack specialised in counter-terrorism which took him to places such as Dubai, Oman, Iraq, Norway and Bahrain. During this period he worked with various Governments implementing strategic operations to prevent terrorism.

After travelling around various countries Jack increasingly came across various forms of solar from large solar farms to domestic solar panels. From here Jack took a keen interest in all things solar and started reading about the technological capabilities with a view to entering the industry after his career in the Ministry of Defence.

Once home after 5 fruitful years, Jack had 3 months leave in which he immersed himself in a solar crash course and got applying for jobs within the solar sector. He came across ESE Solar, a long-established forward-thinking company whose head office was only a stone’s throw away from him. He picked up the phone to see if there were any vacancies and within a week had a successful interview and obtained a full-time job, starting in the technical team.

Within the first few months, Jack onboarded in various online courses during work and social hours to speed up his knowledge of all things solar. Due to his strong work ethic and thirst for knowledge Jack was promoted to Head of Technical at ESE Solar. He currently leads the team and oversees the product development of new technologies within the company alongside assisting where necessary on their maintenance department.
