National statistics published by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero (DESNZ) show that by the end of September 2024, there were 1,641,275 solar installations across the UK. This translates to a total of 17.1 GW (Gigawatts) of solar capacity, with the bulk of it in residential buildings.
In 2024, 72% of all new solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity installed globally came from Asian countries. As of February 2025, 18.0 GW of solar energy is used in the UK. In 2025, the UK saw 1,735,000 solar panel installations (most of which were domestic) which was a 6.8% increase from the previous year.
Tiverton and Honiton follow with 5,911 installations and a capacity of over 21 MW. These are followed by regions like Torridge and West Devon, Central Devon, North Cornwall, and South Norfolk, all with installation numbers above 5,500. The table below shows areas in the UK with the highest number of solar panel installations:
The UK has an installed solar capacity of more than 19 gigawatts (GW), as of August 2025, according to government data. If we measure that figure in 4.5kWp solar installations, it''s the equivalent of 4.2 million systems. That’s a more than 18,000% increase since 2010, when the UK’s total solar capacity was just 0.0937GW.
