More and more UK homeowners are installing domestic solar panels in record-breaking numbers. New data reveals a 22% rise in domestic solar installations in the first half of 2025, with over 99,500 homes fitting panels since the start of the year.
This rapid rise is being fuelled by rising energy prices, growing public interest in sustainability, and the rollout of government support measures like the Solar Roadmap, launched in June. The roadmap sets out plans to expand solar access, simplifying planning rules, and supporting skills and training across the sector.
Domestic Solar Panels In the UK
Regions like Argyll and Bute, the Cotswolds, and Ceredigion are leading the charge, but uptake is rising right across the UK.
A recent public survey shows:
- 47% want to cut their environmental impact
- 32% are actively considering solar
- Group-buying schemes are making it more accessible than ever
The government’s new Solar Roadmap is expected to accelerate this even further, supporting training, manufacturing, and easier planning.
Why Now?
- Lower bills
- Energy independence
- Strong public support for renewables
- Solar Roadmap backed by the government
- Group-buying schemes are making access easier
