With the energy price cap on average domestic energy bills now sitting below £2,000 per year and installation costs having increased with inflation, it is unclear whether the high levels of solar PV installations in 2023 will be maintained this year. Solar Energy UK’s chief communications officer Gareth Simkins says:
As of January 2024, the UK’s total solar capacity stands at 15.7 GW, according to the government’s latest data, an increase of 6.6% compared to the previous year. This is set to increase each year – with 58 MW of solar PV capacity being installed around the UK in January 2024 alone.
The rate of solar adoption has picked up since then, though. 4.9% of the electricity that runs through the national grid is solar energy, as of 2023. 13,860 people work in solar energy in the UK, according to the Association for Renewable Energy and Clean Technology’s 2023 report.
This growth drove a UK record for the total number of domestic renewable electricity and low-carbon heat technologies installations registered by MCS, which reached 229,618. This brings the total MCS-certified installations of solar PV overall to 1,441,753 since 2009, equivalent to more than 5% of all UK households.
Solar employees make up 9.8% of the 140,760 people who work in the UK’s renewable energy industry. The number of people working in solar energy in the UK has risen since REA’s 2018 report, when 10,911 were employed in the industry. 9. How many solar panels does the UK produce?
1.4 million homes in the UK have solar panels, as of October 2024, according to government data. In 2010, there were just 28,211 solar households. That’s a 4,862% increase in 14 years. It took just three years to raise this number to 500,000, but another eight years after that to hit a million in 2021.
