UK total solar capacity 22.3GW.
95% of all new solar was installed on rooftops last year. Equates to a new rooftop system coming online every two minutes throughout 2025.

Any journalists out there?
You might want to investigate the “unexpected”curtailment of several renewables generators (solar farms) in North Devon for possibly the whole summer due to work on a transmission substation.
What country would disable solar energy in summer?
The UK 🙄

@TheSolarShed @BBCFoodProg @oaktreesollc feast of roasted veg, sourdough and roasted seeds with soy sauce flavour . No energy from the grid . @MoneySavingExp

@countrymousie First world problems eh

[andyjb @andyjb]

@TheSolarShed this solar stuff is so rubbish eh

[andyjb @andyjb]

Solar days boosted water with battery , sadly clearing relatives house washing lots of stuff to go to charity re use . Coffee on making spanikoptoka with @OakTreeLCF kale , feta . roasting butternut squash for salad component. @TheSolarShed @EnergySvgTrust @MoneySavingExp

On Sunday #gas produced 23.6% of British electricity, more than imports 22.6%, solar 18.2%, wind 18.0%, nuclear 8.6%, biomass 5.9%, other 2.0%, hydro 1.1%, *excl. non-renewable distributed generation

[National Energy System Operator @neso_energy]

Britain’s electricity system recorded its lowest ever transmission demand today: 12.62GW between 13:00–13:30.

Sunny weather, high solar generation and the bank holiday weekend all contributed to the lower level seen on the network. ☀️

The system operated securely throughout.

@unsereOEBB brilliant quite brilliant customer service from Daniel a villach station ticket centre today . Would love to tell you more and make sure he gets recognition he deserves

[andyjb @andyjb]

@TheSolarShed do you think it's bad form to tell the haters. "We told you so "

[andyjb @andyjb]

I might add without topping battery up over night via cheap grid electric pure solar.

[andyjb @andyjb]

After frankly disappointing December January and early February I can report yesterday ran a 4 bed edwardian semi on solar and battery for 24 hours . Including running dishwasher a wash and baked two sourdough loaves @SolarNationUK @TheSolarShed @MoneySavingExp

[andyjb @andyjb]

@TheSolarShed @SolarNationUK @MartinSLewis @Ed_Miliband @GOVUK And to you. All that on a modest 12 year old 3.88kw solar and 2 year old 7.2kwh battery installation. What's stopping the rest of you .

[andyjb @andyjb]

review2025 solar year 3,207 Kwh from the roof ,1204kwh discharged back into the house for use . Imported 973Kwh. all those without toppping battery up form the grid the next years project to reduced energy dependency and help the grid. @TheSolarShed @SolarNationUK @MartinSLewis

[Danny Hirst @DCH0707]

@TheSolarShed @MartinSLewis Spot on, @TheSolarShed Local, trusted installers keep this industry running, not the big energy giants.
@MartinSLewis with your platform you could really help shine a light on the specialists like @SolarNationUK members who design, install and support solar properly on the ground

Our Zero Bills homes members club is growing as each month passes.

Summer credits & trading far outweighs the cost of energy purchased when the sun doesn't shine.

Many generate enough of an income to cover the standing charge.

@TheSolarShed That Rob the roofer is a legend

[andyjb @andyjb]

@TheSolarShed interesting idea

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

South Korea mandates solar PV for every parking lot for 80 cars or more (from end-November), applying it retroactively to existing facilities - about 3,000 lots in total

That's 2 to 3GW of new solar powering millions of homes, zero land needed
