However, it’s important to not dampen the great progress that has been made so far. Using MCS’ data dashboard, we can see that since 2009 there has been over 1.5m MCS certified solar PV installations on homes and businesses in the UK. In the top five areas with the most installations, there is representation from regions in England, Scotland and Wales. Stirling, the top region in the UK, has 17.8% of households with solar panels installed. A recent report from the International
Energy Agency, published in May, highlights that as of 2024 there are 25 million households globally relying on solar PV for their energy. Comparing this to the UK’s 570,000 households with solar panels installed, we can see that UK households currently account for about 2.3% of the world’s domestic solar installations. This figure might seem like a drop in the
If our sector is to lead on the shift towards implementing Net Zero, and the creation of a “clean, reliable power system”, then navigating consumer apprehension will underpin just how successful, and quick, this transition will be.
ocean, but it’s clear evidence that the UK is punching well above its weight and is at the forefront of the global push towards widespread renewable adoption. Of course, this can always be improved. Misconceptions about the benefits of solar and other renewable energies continue to persist and need to be clarified. This is even more important when we take into account the ‘ticking clock’ of Net Zero requirements and the increasingly dramatic effect that climate change is having. But we’re now hopefully approaching the point of critical mass. With political backing – such as the introduction of the FHS from 2025 and ‘green’ policies becoming a non- negotiable aspect of politics – we’re moving in the right direction, and hopefully, the installation and championing of renewable energies continues with it. Ultimately, it’s critical that we continue to work to preserve what we have. Whether we do this by addressing misconceptions or capitalising on positive sentiment, industry leaders must continue to step up and lead from the front, ensuring the UK continues on its path towards a brighter and more sustainable future.
