Do Solar Panels Work in the UK?

Do solar panels work in UK weather?

Yes — solar panels work excellently in the UK. 1.3 million UK homes already have solar. A 4kW system generates 3,800-4,200 kWh/year — matching average household consumption. Panels work in cloud (10-30% output), rain (5-15%), and even winter (10-25% of summer). The UK's cool temperatures actually HELP efficiency (panels lose efficiency in heat). Germany — with similar weather — was the world's solar leader for years. The 'UK is too cloudy' myth is exactly that: a myth.
