Andrew Moore discusses solar supply chains on The Building Podcast

Written By Ophelia Moore

UKSOL CEO Andrew Moore recently joined Mark Wakeford on The Building Podcast to discuss the global solar supply chain and the strategic future of UK solar manufacturing.

Around 90% of the world’s solar panels are purchased from China — and in the UK, the figure is broadly the same. Chinese manufacturers have developed extraordinary scale, high quality standards, and increasingly strong traceability across their supply chains.

However, such concentration raises important strategic considerations for the UK market.

During the episode, Andrew explores the risks associated with supply chain concentration, including:

  • Control and stability of global supply

  • Pricing volatility

  • Product availability

  • Long-term warranty security

  • Strategic resilience within the UK energy transition

While quality standards from leading international manufacturers remain high, Andrew explains why diversification and accountability are increasingly important as the UK accelerates toward Net Zero targets.
