Great Britain's solar installations reach 15-year high.
Great Britain recorded 142,536 new solar power installations in the first half of 2026. This is the highest number for a six-month period in 15 years, according to a national analysis of government figures. The report notes this pace puts the country on track to exceed last year's total, but the full-year result is still a projection.
Why it matters
This shows people are turning to solar power in response to high fossil fuel costs, increasing the nation's renewable energy capacity.
