UK records its highest May temperature ever — 35.1°C at Kew Gardens, beating a 1922 record.

Record heat means record solar generation.

Was your system capturing peak output this week?

Ofgem confirmed the July energy cap last week: bills rising to £1,862/yr — up 13.5%.

Every unit your solar panels generate is one you don't buy at that price.

Sun Hours shows when yours generates most.

Very happy to announce #SunHours is now available on iPhone.

I got approved first time (that’s a rarity these days!).

Thanks to all my Android users who have helped knuckle down those bugs first.

In 2026, UK electricity prices are still set by gas — even when the sun is shining.

Every unit your panels generate is a unit you don't buy at gas-linked prices.

Sun Hours shows exactly when yours is generating most.

The South West of England averages over 1,600 sun hours per year. Parts of Scotland average under 1,200. Same panels — very different output.

Location is one of the biggest factors in solar return on investment.

May and June are peak solar generation months in the UK — a south-facing 4kW system can produce 400–500kWh in a single month.

Knowing your local sun hours makes a real difference to what you can expect.

A typical 4kW solar system generates around 3,400kWh a year in the UK. At current rates that's over £800 in savings and export income.

Most homeowners underestimate how much their system earns in summer months.

Solar panel inquiries at British Gas are up 250%. More UK homeowners are acting, not waiting, as interest in energy independence grows.

Spring is peak install season — and the best time to check what your roof could generate.

Smart Export Guarantee rates vary from 1p to 24p per kWh depending on your energy supplier — a difference worth hundreds of pounds a year if you're exporting surplus solar power.

Worth checking which tariff you're on.

Renewable energy project approvals hit a record 45GW in 2025 — 96% higher than the year before. Solar leads the way. The UK's clean energy pipeline has never been larger.
