The UK solar industry has reached some electrifying milestones in 2025, marking a turning point for solar power generation and deployment. At Lectogic, we design, supply and install bespoke solar panel systems — and we’re seeing firsthand how national trends are creating major benefits for homeowners and businesses alike. Continue reading to find out why NOW is the time to go Solar!
Solar Capacity Hits New Heights
In 2025, the UK passed a major clean energy milestone with solar capacity reaching over 20 GW of installed photovoltaic (PV) power, driven by both large-scale solar parks and rooftop systems. That’s enough clean power to make a real dent in national electricity demand — and it signals strong growth ahead as the country works toward 45–47 GW by 2030.
This rapid expansion reflects a combination of government planning support, record sunshine levels, and the increasing affordability of solar technology. For you, this means better incentives to install panels, more positive industry momentum, and greater grid acceptance of solar-powered generation than ever before.
Why That Matters for You (As a Homeowner or Business Owner)
Lower Energy Bills — Now and Future-Proofed
Solar systems are already helping households and commercial properties generate their own electricity, reducing reliance on grid power and cutting bills. Times when panels produce more than you use (especially in summer) can even result in energy exported to the grid — further boosting savings.
The UK’s push for solar isn’t just about big farms — small-scale and rooftop systems are booming too. In 2025 alone, the number of rooftop solar installations reached new records as more homeowners chose to make their own clean energy.
Increasing Demand for Storage + Optimisation
With more solar power on the UK grid — and more variability from weather and usage — battery storage is becoming essential. Combined solar + storage systems help you store daytime generation and use it when you need it most, maximising self-consumption and reducing peak-time grid use.
At Lectogic, we can design systems that integrate solar with energy storage and smart power management, tailoring each installation to your energy goals.
Government Solar Strategy Supports Growth — But Rooftops Are Key
The UK government’s Solar Roadmap sets out an ambitious plan to almost treble solar capacity by 2030, with policies and projects designed to support up to ~47 GW of clean power.
One important aspect of this strategy is that solar’s land footprint will stay modest — even if ambitious deployment targets are met. Estimates show that solar could occupy no more than ~0.6% of UK farmland by 2030, with rooftop and urban solar playing a key role in reducing land-use concerns.
This means two things:
-
Solar isn’t limited to big fields — residential and commercial rooftops are central to growth.
-
Installing panels on your property not only supports national clean energy goals, but is also aligned with government strategy and long-term infrastructure plans.
