As the UK accelerates toward a net-zero future, the question of where our solar technology comes from has never been more important. Choosing UK-made solar roof tiles isn’t just about clean energy — it’s about energy security, resilient housing, and supporting local industry.
The UK Manufacturing Advantage
Solar Capture Technologies (SCT) is proud to be the UK’s largest solar PV manufacturer, based in Blyth, Northumberland. Unlike imported solar panels, our Composite Solar Roof Tile is manufactured and assembled in the UK, supporting British jobs and reducing reliance on overseas supply chains.
Building Energy Security
The global solar market is dominated by imports. While cost can seem attractive, imported products leave housing projects vulnerable to delays, shipping challenges, and geopolitical uncertainty. By choosing a British solar manufacturer, developers and landlords can lock in greater supply chain resilience — ensuring housing projects stay on schedule and budgets remain predictable.
Supporting Local Jobs and Skills
Every SCT solar tile is made in our Northumberland facility, sustaining UK jobs in advanced manufacturing and supporting the wider regional economy. Choosing UK-made also contributes to the growth of domestic renewable expertise — an industry that’s critical for long-term energy independence.
Lower Carbon Footprint vs. Imports
Shipping solar products halfway around the world adds unnecessary emissions to a technology that should reduce carbon. By manufacturing here in Britain, SCT cuts transport-related emissions while offering a traceable, ethical supply chain.
