From Roof to Factory Floor: Leading the UK’s Genuine Solar Manufacturing Revival

In the UK solar industry, many companies talk about “British-made” or “UK-based” solar but few are actually manufacturing here.
Most panels installed in Britain are imported, and while some brands assemble or badge products locally, true UK manufacturing is rare.

Solar Capture Technologies (SCT) is one of the few companies that genuinely designs, assembles, and manufactures solar technology in the UK and we’re proud to be the largest solar PV manufacturer in Britain.

From our facility in Blyth, Northumberland, we produce high-performance solar modules and integrated roof tiles that meet the highest international standards. Our team has been manufacturing in the UK for years, combining decades of solar R&D experience with real production capability something that can’t be replicated through rebranding or import alone.

Built Here, For Here

When we say “UK-made,” we mean it.
Our solar products are designed, assembled, and quality-checked in our Northumberland facility under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 standards.
Every product that leaves our site is traceable, tested, and compliant with the most demanding UK housing and safety regulations.

By manufacturing in the UK, we reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping, strengthen energy security, and support skilled local jobs in renewable technology all while giving customers complete confidence in where their solar products come from.

The SCT-437: Proof of What Genuine Manufacturing Can Deliver

Our flagship product, the SCT-437 Composite Solar Roof Tile, represents the very best of UK innovation and engineering.
It’s a dual-purpose system acting as both a durable roof covering and a high-efficiency energy generator, designed to last the lifetime of a roof.

Tested to BROOF (t4) and UL 790 Class A for fire performance, and certified by both MCS and BBA, the SCT-437 combines safety, simplicity, and performance in one UK-made solution.

Because we control every stage of design and manufacture, from materials selection to final testing, customers can rely on consistent performance, rapid supply, and long-term service support — all from within the UK.

Innovation That Reaches Beyond the Roof

Our manufacturing expertise goes far beyond residential solar.
SCT designs and produces bespoke solar modules for demanding applications powering everything from offshore navigation buoys and lighthouses to emergency telephony, remote monitoring, and transport systems.

This broad experience means every product we create benefits from proven engineering, robust testing, and design optimisation developed right here in the UK.

Why Genuine UK Manufacturing Matters

Rebuilding domestic solar manufacturing isn’t just about national pride.
It’s about building a resilient, transparent, and sustainable energy supply chain that supports the UK’s Net Zero ambitions.
By investing in manufacturing capability, not just branding, SCT is ensuring that the next generation of solar products can be built and supplied responsibly, without dependence on overseas logistics.

Real UK manufacturing delivers:

  • Lower embodied carbon through shorter supply chains
  • Greater quality assurance and product traceability
  • Faster delivery and local support
  • Skilled jobs and regional investment
  • Stronger energy independence

 

Powering the Next Chapter of UK Solar

At Solar Capture Technologies, we’ve been manufacturing here while others have been talking about it.
As the UK transitions toward Net Zero, genuine British manufacturing will play a crucial role — and SCT is proud to lead that shift from talking about making solar in the UK to actually doing it.
