In March of 2026, the UK experienced reasonably sunny weather, leading to the production of over 400 kWh of solar power. While this was slightly less than the previous year’s production of 419 kWh, it still marked a significant increase compared to the years prior.
Throughout the month, a total of 407 kWh of solar power was generated, with 30% (122 kWh) being exported. The total consumption for the month stood at 1.13 MWh, with 49% sourced from the grid, 28% from the battery, and 22% from Solar PV.
Looking at the bigger picture, the first quarter of 2026 saw a substantial increase in solar power production compared to the same period in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The total production for the first quarter amounted to just over 0.75 MWh, as depicted in the graph below.
This consistent rise in solar power generation is indicative of the UK’s commitment to renewable energy sources and reducing its carbon footprint. With each passing year, advancements in solar technology are enabling households and businesses to harness the power of the sun more efficiently and sustainably.
As we move forward, it is essential to continue investing in renewable energy infrastructure and promoting sustainable practices to ensure a greener and cleaner future for generations to come.
