The UK's solar revolution is gaining momentum.
New government figures show that more than 27,000 solar installations were completed in March 2026 – the highest monthly deployment since 2012. This milestone takes the UK's total solar installations beyond 2 million for the first time.
The surge has been driven largely by homeowners, with around two-thirds of new installations being rooftop solar systems. Solar capacity has also grown by 11.7% over the last year, adding 2.3GW of clean, homegrown electricity to the UK's energy mix.
As global events continue to impact energy markets, more households are turning to solar to reduce their reliance on volatile fossil fuel prices, lower energy bills, and gain greater control over their energy future.
The government is supporting this growth through new solar initiatives, including solar on new-build homes, expanded funding for schools and social housing, and the rollout of plug-in balcony solar panels.
The message is clear: solar is no longer just an environmental choice, it's becoming a practical financial decision for households across the UK.
If you're considering solar for your home or business, now is an excellent time to explore the savings and long-term benefits available. Get in touch with us through our website or giving us a message here.
