The Solar Trade Association (STA) Scotland published 20 requests including a proposal for a Solar Action Plan and recommendations on business rates, social housing and community energy.
Chairman of STA Scotland John Forster said: “There are a number of simple, practical things the Scottish Government can do to boost solar north of the border, whether it is encouraging wind and solar to share grid capacity or changes to planning.
“We are also keen that the Scottish Government looks at options to establish its own financial support mechanisms for solar to bridge the gap between now and the early 2020s when we hope to see mainstream solar projects become subsidy-free.”
Scotland is already halfway towards its renewables target, producing 7.5GW of renewable energy annually – the majority of which comes from onshore wind.
