Solar power brings the light to the British Isles

There were more than 1,780,000 solar photovoltaic (PV) installations across the UK as of April, accounting for 18.1 GW of solar capacity, an increase of six per cent from the previous year.

In April alone, there were over 20k new installations, the majority of which, 68 per cent, were on domestic properties.

It’s brilliant news that more people are benefitting from solar panels on their homes and joining the solar revolution. PV panels produce clean electricity for free that you can either use at home or sell back to the local network.

This Spring was the sunniest on record, so generation figures increased as a result meaning more and more consumers are having lower electricity bills and able to power their home from sunshine.

As we transition to electric cars and heat pumps, it makes even more financial sense to have solar panels on residential roofs.
