That this House notes the increasing number of solar farms being built on farmland; is furthermore aware of the vast unused potential of solar panels on the roofs of distribution depots, factories and homes in the UK; considers agricultural land as important in terms of landscape, food-generation and local economies; and therefore calls on the Government to commit to making better use of industrial, commercial and domestic roofs for solar energy.
