UK solar power generation reached a record high last month of 23.9% of UK electricity demand, according to new analysis by MyGridGB. And the analysis also shows that the UK now has almost 12GW of solar PV, across homes, offices, schools, warehouses and on solar farms – which is sufficient to power the equivalent of 3.8 million homes. According to the latest statistics – published yesterday by the Solar Trade Association to mark its third annual Solar Independence Day – there are now more than 800,000 homes with solar PV and another 200,000 with solar thermal, which means that the UK now has just over 1 million solar homes.
