Getting better at predicting the weather can reduce our energy emissions. I wrote about @jack_kelly's work on this important, but overlooked, source of emissions

New solar panel geographic data for the UK! We’re publishing this free open dataset, and a journal paper all about it, today in Nature Scientific Data (@ScientificData): https://t.co/pmQfIShbAa

Thanks to the @sheffielduni live solar PV tracker, we saw that last Monday the UK broke the all-time record for the generation of solar power! At the time, about 30% of the overall electricity demand was being met by solar power. ☀Read more below: https://t.co/dEkswWwVn7

Geospatial boundaries for GB Grid Supply Points have just been released as open data on the @ng_eso Data Portal! The boundaries were developed by @ShefSolarF. Great stuff! https://t.co/OvDLMmXji2

Clear skies and cool temperatures have helped UK #solar to break the all-time peak generation record. Around 12:30 on Monday 20 April 2020, a peak of 9.68GW was recorded by the @ShefSolarF tracker, beating the previous record of 9.55GW set on 14 May 2019.

[Solar Energy UK @SolarEnergyUK_]

Last week not only provided a new daily peak generation record on Monday, with 9.68GW at 12:30, but also a weekly one too!

#Solar met over 11% of UK electricity demand between Monday and Sunday, with a record total of 485.41GWh, ensuring a new #coalfree record is within reach!

@BeverleyIngrid @OurCowMolly @ourcowmollymilk Well done @OurCowMolly, here's the transition from plastic labels to printed bottles in my local shop:

[Sheffield Solar @ShefSolarF]

@Bristolboy @TheElonMasked @DaVinciCapital @iain_staffell @asymco @Draxnews Yes, so solar will be included as a generation source

[Sheffield Solar @ShefSolarF]

@iain_staffell @Draxnews A very interesting graph.
