Solar

Solar energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources. As photovoltaic technology advances and production costs decrease, Shell is incorporating solar energy into its portfolio as customer choice drives the shift toward decentralised electricity.

We are expanding our solar power generation capability by investing in the development and operation of long-term commercial and industrial solar projects.
