UK Solar Report:
July to September 2026

This was an exceptional summer for solar. July was the UK's sunniest July on record, and for both England and Wales the sunniest calendar month on record, according to the Met Office.

Solar panels across the UK produced an estimated 13.6% more electricity than in an average summer. Gains were biggest in the south, led by London, the South East and the South West, all more than 18% up, and shrank further north. Scotland and Northern Ireland, where sunshine was close to average, were barely up, at 1.3% and 0.9%.

This is the first edition of our quarterly UK Solar Report. We combine Met Office sunshine data, official solar capacity figures and modelling of our customers' homes to show how solar performed in each region of the UK, and what the solar homes we modelled could have saved by switching tariff.

  2. 02 On a south-facing roof, each kilowatt of panels produced an estimated 394 kilowatt hours in the South East, the most in the UK, and 289 in Scotland, the least. London, the South West and Wales were close behind the South East. A kilowatt of panels on a south-facing roof produced an estimated 367 kilowatt hours, in line with the UK figure and sixth of the 12 regions. A kilowatt of panels on a south-facing roof produced an estimated 382 kilowatt hours, 6% more than the UK figure and the fifth highest of the 12 regions. A kilowatt of panels on a south-facing roof produced an estimated 392 kilowatt hours, 8% more than the UK figure and the second highest of the 12 regions. A kilowatt of panels on a south-facing roof produced an estimated 335 kilowatt hours, 7% less than the UK figure. A kilowatt of panels on a south-facing roof produced an estimated 314 kilowatt hours, 13% less than the UK figure.

  3. 03 Three regions, the South East, South West and East of England, produced an estimated 44% of the UK's small-scale solar electricity. Small-scale solar in the East Midlands produced up to 277 gigawatt hours, 8.9% of the UK total and the fourth most of any region. Small-scale solar in the East of England produced up to 391 gigawatt hours, 12.6% of the UK total and the third most of any region. Small-scale solar in London produced up to 135 gigawatt hours, 4.3% of the UK total. London has about a quarter of the South East's solar capacity. Small-scale solar in the North East produced up to 116 gigawatt hours, 3.7% of the UK total. Small-scale solar in the North West produced up to 236 gigawatt hours, 7.6% of the UK total. Small-scale solar in Northern Ireland produced up to 45 gigawatt hours, 1.5% of the UK total. The records we use are likely to undercount Northern Ireland's solar. Small-scale solar in Scotland produced up to 233 gigawatt hours, 7.5% of the UK total. Scotland has the fourth most small-scale solar installed of any region. Small-scale solar in the South East produced up to 515 gigawatt hours, 16.6% of the UK total and the most of any region. Small-scale solar in the South West produced up to 454 gigawatt hours, 14.6% of the UK total and the second most of any region. Small-scale solar in Wales produced up to 239 gigawatt hours, 7.7% of the UK total. Small-scale solar in the West Midlands produced up to 241 gigawatt hours, 7.7% of the UK total and the fifth most of any region. Small-scale solar in Yorkshire and The Humber produced up to 224 gigawatt hours, 7.2% of the UK total.
  4. 04 The typical solar home we modelled could have saved £63 over the summer by switching from the standard price cap tariff to the cheapest tariffs we compared, assuming spare electricity on the price cap sells at 8p a unit. Every home would have paid less. The typical solar home we modelled in the East Midlands could have saved £67 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. The typical solar home we modelled in the East of England could have saved £69 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), the most of any region by a small margin. The typical solar home we modelled in London could have saved £55 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. Based on 10 homes, the typical solar home we modelled in the North East could have saved £55 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. The typical solar home we modelled in the North West could have saved £57 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. Tariff savings figures are not available for Northern Ireland, because our tariff data does not cover Northern Irish suppliers. Based on 23 homes, the typical solar home we modelled in Scotland could have saved £65 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. The typical solar home we modelled in the South East could have saved £68 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), just behind the East of England's £69. The typical solar home we modelled in the South West could have saved £67 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. Based on 23 homes, the typical solar home we modelled in Wales could have saved £58 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. The typical solar home we modelled in the West Midlands could have saved £59 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain. The typical solar home we modelled in Yorkshire and The Humber could have saved £56 by switching tariff (assuming 8p a unit for spare electricity on the price cap), against £63 across Great Britain.
  5. 05 On those tariffs, more than a third of the homes (35.4%) would have earned more from selling electricity than they spent buying it. On the price cap, fewer than one in five would have. Almost four in ten of the homes we modelled in the region (38.2%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, above the Great Britain figure of 35.4%. Almost half the homes we modelled in the region (46.4%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, the highest share of any region with at least 25 homes. Nearly a third of the homes we modelled in London (33.2%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, against 35.4% across Great Britain. Based on the same 10 homes, half could have earned more than they spent on electricity, against 35.4% across Great Britain. More than four in ten of the homes we modelled in the region (44.0%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, second only to the East of England among regions with at least 25 homes. For the same reason, figures for homes that could have earned more than they spent on electricity are not available for Northern Ireland. Based on the same 23 homes, more than four in ten (43.5%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, against 35.4% across Great Britain. Almost a third of the homes we modelled in the region (32.3%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, against 35.4% across Great Britain. Just over a third of the homes we modelled in the region (33.8%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, close to the Great Britain figure of 35.4%. Based on the same 23 homes, about one in five (21.7%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, against 35.4% across Great Britain. About three in ten of the homes we modelled in the region (30.5%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, against 35.4% across Great Britain. More than a third of the homes we modelled in the region (37.5%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity, a little above the Great Britain figure of 35.4%.

“This was a great summer to own solar panels. Across the UK, they produced an estimated 13.6% more electricity than in an average summer. What a solar home gets back also depends on its tariff. We modelled 1,281 of our customers in Great Britain using typical summer weather, and every one of them would have paid less on the cheapest tariffs we compared than on the standard price cap tariff. The typical home could have saved £63 over the quarter.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“The typical home among the 68 customers we modelled in the East Midlands could have saved £67 over the quarter by switching from the standard price cap tariff, a little above the Great Britain figure of £63. On the cheapest tariffs we compared, more than a third would have earned more from selling electricity than they spent buying it over the quarter.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Solar homes in the East of England narrowly topped our regional savings table, just ahead of the South East and South West. The typical home among the 140 we modelled could have saved £69 over the quarter by switching from the standard price cap tariff, and on the cheapest tariffs more than four in ten would have earned more from selling electricity than they spent buying it over the quarter.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Solar panels in London produced an estimated 19.2% more electricity than in an average summer, joint highest in the UK with the South East, which shares its Met Office sunshine reading.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Solar panels in the North East produced an estimated 8.4% more electricity than in an average summer, against 13.6% across the UK. Our tariff figures for the region rest on just 10 customer homes.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“On the cheapest tariffs we compared, more than four in ten of the 50 customers we modelled in the North West would have earned more from selling electricity than they spent buying it over the quarter. Among regions where we modelled at least 25 homes, only the East of England had a higher share.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Northern Ireland's solar panels produced close to an average summer's output between July and September, an estimated 0.9% above the long-run average, while parts of southern England saw rises of more than 18%.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Scotland had a quieter summer for solar than most of the UK, with output an estimated 1.3% above its long-run average. Small-scale solar in Scotland produced up to 233 gigawatt hours over the quarter.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Solar panels in the South East produced an estimated 19.2% more electricity than in an average summer, joint highest in the UK with London, which shares its Met Office sunshine reading.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Solar output in the South West was an estimated 18.3% above its long-run average, the third highest in the UK.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“Solar panels in Wales produced an estimated 15.1% more electricity than in an average summer, ahead of most of the UK. Per kilowatt of panels, a south-facing roof in Wales came within 5 kilowatt hours of the South East, which led the UK.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“The typical home among the 59 customers we modelled in the West Midlands could have saved £59 over the quarter by switching from the standard price cap tariff.”

Llewellyn Kinch, CEO and Founder of MakeMyHouseGreen and Switchd

“On the cheapest tariffs we compared, more than a third of the 40 customers we modelled in Yorkshire and The Humber would have earned more from selling electricity than they spent buying it over the quarter. That is a little above the Great Britain figure of 35.4%.”

The typical solar home we modelled could have saved £63 over the summer by switching from the standard price cap tariff to the cheapest import and export tariffs we compared for it, assuming a home on the price cap sells its spare electricity at 8p a unit. Every one of the 1,281 homes would have paid less, and half could have saved between £43 and £91. The East of England came out on top by a small margin, at £69.

For most homes, the cheapest deal used a night-rate tariff, which lets a battery charge on cheaper electricity overnight. Night-rate tariffs are also available on the price cap, so part of the saving comes from that switch alone.

The typical solar home among the 68 we modelled in the East Midlands could have saved £67 over the summer by switching from the standard price cap tariff to the cheapest tariffs we compared for it, assuming a home on the price cap sells its spare electricity at 8p a unit, a little above the Great Britain figure of £63 and fourth of the eight regions with at least 25 homes.

For most homes across Great Britain, the cheapest deal used a night-rate tariff, which is also available on the price cap.

The typical solar home among the 140 we modelled in the East of England could have saved £69 over the summer by switching from the standard price cap tariff to the cheapest tariffs we compared for it, assuming a home on the price cap sells its spare electricity at 8p a unit. That was the most of any region, but only just: the South East was on £68 and the South West on £67. Across Great Britain the figure was £63.

For most homes across Great Britain, the cheapest deal used a night-rate tariff, which is also available on the price cap.

Almost four in ten East Midlands homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

Almost half the East of England homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

Nearly a third of the London homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

North East figures for earning more than they spent rest on a small sample of 10 homes

More than four in ten North West homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

Figures for earning more than they spent are not available for Northern Ireland

Scotland figures for earning more than they spent rest on a small sample of 23 homes

Almost a third of the South East homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

Just over a third of the South West homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

Wales figures for earning more than they spent rest on a small sample of 23 homes

About three in ten West Midlands homes we modelled could have earned more than they spent on electricity

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 453 of the 1,281 homes we modelled (35.4%) would have earned more from selling electricity than they spent buying it, standing charges included. On the standard price cap tariff, with spare electricity sold at 8p a unit, it would have been 209 homes (16.3%), so the right tariff more than doubled the number. Among regions with at least 25 homes, the East of England had the highest share, at 46.4%. This covers summer only and says nothing about winter bills.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 26 of the 68 homes we modelled in the East Midlands (38.2%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included. That was above the Great Britain figure of 35.4% and third of the eight regions with at least 25 homes.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 65 of the 140 homes we modelled in the East of England (46.4%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included. That was the highest share of any region with at least 25 homes, against 35.4% across Great Britain.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 78 of the 235 homes we modelled in London (33.2%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, against 35.4% across Great Britain.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 5 of the 10 homes we modelled in the North East could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, against 35.4% across Great Britain. The sample is small, so treat this figure as indicative.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 22 of the 50 homes we modelled in the North West (44.0%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included. Among regions with at least 25 homes, only the East of England had a higher share. Across Great Britain the figure was 35.4%.

For the same reason, Northern Ireland is not included in this finding. Across Great Britain, more than a third of the solar homes we modelled (35.4%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer on the cheapest tariffs we compared.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 10 of the 23 homes we modelled in Scotland (43.5%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, against 35.4% across Great Britain. The sample is small, so treat this figure as indicative.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 107 of the 331 homes we modelled in the South East (32.3%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included. That was below the Great Britain figure of 35.4% and seventh of the eight regions with at least 25 homes.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 102 of the 302 homes we modelled in the South West (33.8%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, close to the Great Britain figure of 35.4%.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 5 of the 23 homes we modelled in Wales (21.7%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, against 35.4% across Great Britain. The sample is small, so treat this figure as indicative.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 18 of the 59 homes we modelled in the West Midlands (30.5%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, against 35.4% across Great Britain.

On the cheapest tariffs we compared, 15 of the 40 homes we modelled in Yorkshire and The Humber (37.5%) could have earned more than they spent on electricity over the summer, standing charges included, a little above the Great Britain figure of 35.4%.

Northern Ireland is not in the tariff sample, so it does not appear on this chart.
