In 2023, the UK’s solar industry experienced significant growth in rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installations. Here are the key highlights:

1. Registered Solar PV Installations:
   • The installation of solar panels on rooftops surged, driving the country to its highest-ever level of domestic low-carbon technology upgrades.
   • Registered solar photovoltaic (PV) installations rose nearly 30% to a post-subsidy record of 189,826 in 2023, according to the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS)¹.
2. Overall Solar PV Capacity:
   • The UK solar industry is set to add an additional 1.7 GWp-dc of new solar PV capacity in 2023.
   • This growth continues the post-subsidy phase, which includes feed-in-tariffs (FiTs) and renewable obligation certificates (ROCs), propelling the UK toward being a multi-gigawatt market over the next few years².
