Solar Energy Records Weekly High Thanks to UK Heatwave
Thanks to the heatwave, solar power broke numerous generation-related records and became, for a small amount of time, the UK’s leading source of electrical energy. In between the 21st and 28th of June solar power generation broke the record for weekly output. While the records will not develop any enduring effect and are primarily symbolic, it shows how far solar power and its related innovation have actually come in the previous couple of years.
The recent spell of hot weather saw solar power surpass gas as the UK’s main source of energy. Thanks to the heatwave, solar power broke numerous generation-related records and became, for a small amount of time, the UK’s leading source of electrical energy. In between the 21st and 28th of June solar power generation broke the record for weekly output. While the records will not produce any enduring impact and are mostly symbolic, it shows how far solar power and its related technology have come in the previous couple of years. This may be the last spike in solar power we see any time soon as solar records are forecasted to slow down.
