Solar4Good Featured in Your Local Guardian as Croydon Is Crowned London’s Solar Leader

As featured in — Your Local Guardian · London Now · Times Series

We are proud to have been featured across several of London’s most-read regional titles — including Your Local Guardian, London Now and the Times Series — following Solar4Good®’s 2026 analysis of home solar generation across London’s boroughs, with Croydon emerging as the capital’s clear solar leader.

Our borough-by-borough study, drawn from Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) generation data, found that Croydon now generates more home solar power than any other London borough. It is a finding that challenges the idea that London is “not solar territory” — and it is exactly the kind of suburban, owner-occupied area where solar panel installation across London has quietly moved from novelty to mainstream.

The figures behind the coverage, ranked by annual home solar generation, were as follows.

For a homeowner in Croydon, Havering or Ealing, the story is no longer about whether solar works in London. It is about why their neighbours have figured it out first. Harrow — our home borough — is the strongest North London catch-up candidate for 2027.
