During the first six months of 2022, the UK posted 80% growth in new solar PV installations compared to the same period last year, with 556MW of capacity installed.
The most general segmentation of the UK market is across residential installations, small commercial rooftops (<100kW), large commercial rooftops (>100kW) and ground-mount (dominated by utility-scale solar farms). The key segments driving current growth are coming from residential, large commercial rooftops and ground-mount sites.
Residential is seeing huge growth today, with the sector fully recovered from the reset that occurred at the start of 2019, when feed in tariffs ended.
