Solar power has a small but growing role in electricity production in the United Kingdom. There were few installations until 2010, when the UK government mandated subsidies in the form of a feed-in tariff (FIT), paid for by all electricity consumers. In the following years the cost of photovoltaic (PV) panels fell, and the FIT rate

UK surpasses 16GW of installed solar capacity

According to new statistics from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), the UK surpassed 16GW of solar capacity in May 2024. This represents a year-on-year increase of 1.2GW, with government organisations also confirming that the capacity total for April 2024 had been revised up to 0.9GW.

UK solar capacity grows 1GW year on year

The latest solar energy statistics from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) have revealed that the UK now has over 17GW of installed solar capacity. As of the end of October 2024, the UK has a total of 17.2GW of solar generation capacity, a 1GW or 6.3% increase since October 2023.

Solar Power Statistics: The United Kingdom 2019

Solar energy production in the United Kingdom reached a record-high in the first quarter (Q1) of 2019. The UK solar energy systems generated 2.7 terawatt-hours (TWh) of emissions-free electricity all over the nation excluding Northern Ireland.
