A harmonised, high-coverage, open dataset of solar photovoltaic installations in the UK

This resource links to an external website containing an individual dataset

Description:

Open geographic data for over 260,000 solar PV installations across the UK, covering an estimated 86% of the capacity in the country, arising from a major crowd-sourcing campaign. The data set focuses in particular on capturing small-scale domestic solar PV, which accounts for a significant fraction of generation but has been poorly documented.
