Why Solar Works in Liverpool

Liverpool's ~224,400 households make it the region's largest solar market — 26,376 homes already have solar. JLR Halewood is building the UK's largest solar car port (10MW+, 18,000 panels, beginning 2026). Liverpool Airport opened a £3m, 3MW solar farm in March 2026. Everton's new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium features 2,050 sq m of PV cells. Liverpool FC installed solar on the new Anfield Road Stand. South Liverpool's affluent belt (Allerton £408k, Woolton £347k) drives self-funded demand.

Liverpool's ~224,400 households make it the region's largest solar market. 26,376 homes already have solar panels, but 59% of properties are rated EPC D or below — an enormous retrofit opportunity. 18.3% fuel poverty (~38,400 households). Solar Together has fitted 10,376 panels across 1,053 households.
