UK reports record solar deployment with 269,000 installations in 2025

Government data shows roughly 255,000 of the 2025 installations were rooftop systems, meaning at least 95% of new solar was installed on homes, businesses, and other buildings. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero also reported that 9 of the 10 strongest months for solar deployment occurred within the last year and that solar PV acquisition and installation costs fell by up to 9%. The data reinforces the market shift toward distributed solar, plug-in solar products, and solar as a household energy-security tool.
