"But, the UK does not get enough sun for solar panels!"
This comes up a lot.
Solar panels do not need round the clock sunshine. They need daylight.
The UK has plenty of it across the year, even on cloudy days, panels keep working. Light still reaches the cells and generates electricity, output drops compared to peak summer days, but it does not stop.
South Coast homes, including Southampton and Portsmouth, often see solid annual generation due to steady daylight levels.
Modern systems are built for UK weather patterns. They generate across all seasons, not just summer months.
The result is simple. Homes and businesses can produce a meaningful share of their own electricity through the year.
