Some Green councillors are against solar projects, which sits uneasily with the party's national policy.
Mr Ramsay says the Greens want to see 100 gigawatts of UK energy generated from solar over the next 10 years, with three quarters coming from panels on rooftops, and a quarter from farms.
talks of expanding UK solar capacity to 70GW by 2035. "It would not be possible to build that much solar capacity on the UK's rooftops," Mr Evans says., the government's climate adviser estimated a maximum potential of 37GW on rooftops. "Even if it were possible to reach 70GW of solar on the UK's rooftops, it would be significantly more expensive to do so," Mr Evans says.
Andrew Stringer - the first Green district councillor to be elected in Suffolk in 2003 - says the proposed Sunnica Energy Farm is a "symptom of a wider problem". Democracy served the party well in May's local elections, with the Greens making records gains, notably in some rural areas with a history of voting Conservative. This pivot to the countryside has expanded the party's base beyond its core voters in urban areas.
