UK solar capacity reaches 22.8 GW ahead of plug-in solar rules

SolarNews Brief

pv magazine reports that the UK added over 2 GW of solar capacity in the year to June 2026, extending momentum across rooftops and larger projects.

The change matters because it could bring new consumers into distributed solar while the national market continues to scale beyond 20 GW.
