The UK’s installed solar capacity has surpassed 19GW, with a record annual build-out in 2024 and more than 6GW of large-scale projects currently in development or construction. Solar set multiple generation records last year, underlining its expanding role in delivering affordable, secure, low-carbon power.
Momentum is continuing to building: recent grid connection reform commitments, updated planning guidance supporting large-scale deployment, and growing investment appetite are reshaping the landscape. Yet the path to the government’s 70GW by 2035 ambition is far from straightforward.
Grid congestion, rising costs, land-use pressures, skills shortages, and the need for co-located storage remain critical barriers. To keep deployment on track, the industry must work together to unlock capital, accelerate permitting and connection timelines, and scale domestic workforce and supply chain capability.
UK Solar Summit 2026 will bring together policymakers, developers, investors, grid operators, and solution providers to confront these challenges head-on. Over two days of strategic insight and practical discussion, we’ll examine the policies, investment signals, and technologies steering the next phase of UK solar growth.
