Solar Energy | Pentagon, Jersey
Solar thermal panels convert light to heat (more specifically, hot water) and photovoltaic (PV) panels convert it to electricity. Light is available to us every day, to a greater or lesser extent, and both thermal and PV panels produce energy every day, to a greater or lesser extent.
Jersey''s first ground-based solar farm recommended for approval
Jersey is on its way to getting its first ground-based solar farm, after the Planning Department recommended it for approval. Jersey Electricity wants to install 7,500 ground-mounted, fixed-tilt solar photovoltaic panels in two agricultural fields which will operate for the next 40 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Government of Jersey are overall supportive of solar and in most cases you can cover upto 90% of a roof plane without seeking permission. If you live within a listed building, listed site or potential building of interest in Jersey you will always require planning permission and we recommend seeking pre-planning advise from the department.
Jersey to get first solar farm after plans narrowly approved
7,500 solar panels are to be installed in two agricultural fields in St. Clement after an application for the island''s first ever ground-based solar farm was narrowly approved. The farm - installed in fields off Rue du Moulin à Vent in St. Clement - will generate approximately 4 MW of power, which is equivalent to the electricity consumption
JE aims to solar power 5000 Jersey homes by 2030
More than 5000 Jersey homes could be solar-powered in the next six years. Jersey Electricity has launched its latest ambition towards clean energy. Currently, solar only accounts for less than 0.5% of the island''s energy generation, but the JE Solar 5000 initiative hopes to boost this to 6.5% of the energy share by 2030.

Solar 5000
Powering 5000 homes is the equivalent of generating 36MWp of electricity from various solar voltaic sources – enough to power around 10% of housing in Jersey. Solar currently accounts for less than 0.5% of Jersey''s current energy generation. Achieving the Solar 5000 ambition would increase it to 6.5% of the energy share, all generated locally.
