^{One key objective of the roadmap is to ensure that a skilled and properly resourced workforce is in place to scale up solar installations across the UK.}  

^{Brought to you by Solar Energy UK and MCS, the Installer Training Hub was a key feature of Solar & Storage Live in Birmingham and plays an integral part in providing the knowledge and skillsets required to work in the industry.}
