New research by Independent Advisor shows that UK solar hotspots installations has increased by over 37% in the last year. Over 1.7 million domestic homes have had the technology installed, and the overall number of solar panels in the UK increased by a third from 2022 to 2023.
Katharine Allison, energy-saving expert at Independent Advisor Solar Panels, said of the findings: “As the UK’s interest in sustainable living grows, solar power is emerging as a leading solution for households looking to lower their carbon footprint.
“The findings here give us a clear picture of the solar landscape in the UK, highlighting the regions and local authorities leading the way in solar adoption.”
Areas get a UK solar hotspots score based on the percentage of households with solar panels installed in 2023-2024, the capacity of solar panels as of December 2022, and the average annual number of sunshine hours.
