In 2012 when I first put solarPV on my roof, wind and solar generated less than 7% of UK electricity generation. Gas and coal were 69%. So far in 2025, wind and solar have generated 39% of UK demand. Gas (there's no coal) is down to 29%. It's very good to see :-). grid.iamkate.com

Solar glass development is progressing: researchers achieved new solar windows with an optical efficiency of 18.1%.
The glass is coated with cholesteric liquid crystal, which opens up the ability to apply the technology to normal windows, which is big!

Yes, I have #solarPV, #batteries, a #heatpump and we have two electric vehicles. No gas or oil at all. We also grow lots of our own veg and garden organically. But in the interests of full disclosure, I also own a small share in a microlight plane(EV97) and I'm going flying this afternoon.
