Abstract
We find that the current average UK annual solar resource is 101.2Â Wmâ2, ranging from 128.4 Wmâ2 in the south of England to 71.8Â Wmâ2 in the northwest of Scotland. It seems likely that climate change will increase the average resource in the south of the UK, while marginally decreasing it in the Northwest. The overall effect is a mean increase of the UK solar resource, however it will have greater seasonal variability and discrepancies between geographical regions will be reinforced.
