We’re pleased to announce our latest supporter, The National Federation of Roofing Contractors (NRFC). The NFRC is the UK’s largest roofing trade association representing over 60% of the roofing industry by value, so that means thousands of roofers are officially fans of a good FIT! Roofers across the UK have realised that up to 200,000 new skilled green jobs could be created in the solar power and roofing sectors in the UK if a “feed-in tariff” (FIT) is set at an effective rate to encourage much greater take-up of the technology as we approach our 2020 CO2 reduction targets.

Ray Horwood, NFRC Chief Executive said: “The NFRC fully support the need for a robust feed-in tariff to encourage the uptake of solar in the UK. The time has come for roofs to be active parts of a building to help meet the national CO2 targets, to provide a viable solution to meet challenging future building regulations, and to support a generation of new jobs for roofers who are eager to become involved in the emerging green economy. A strong FIT for solar will help tackle the triple challenge of credit, energy and climate.”

Bring on the roofing revolution.
