Solar energy company Lightsource has announced plans to invest more than £125 million in rooftop projects across the UK.

It aims to deliver 120MW of installations on households, commercial buildings and social housing this year.

The company has invested more than £1.5 billion in four years and aims to reach 1GW of operational UK projects by the end of March 2015.

Nick Boyle, CEO at Lightsource said: “Now that we have allocated the funds, relationships with installers will be key in realising our ambition. Therefore, we are keen to seek out these partnerships and work with local supply chains.”
