<p>As set out in the November 2013 Renewable Energy Roadmap Update, analysis indicated
a potential deployment range of 7-20 GW (equivalent to 6-18 TWh) of solar PV at all
scales, with 20GW being our estimate of the technical maximum level of solar PV deployment
by 2020 on the basis of grid and other constraints. Solar PV in the UK was 8.007GW
as of August 2015<sup>1</sup>.</p><br /><p>In the absence of cost effective storage,
solar PV can make a contribution to meeting electricity demand but this will be limited
by the nature of its diurnal cycle.</p><br /><p><em>REF:</em></p><ol><li><em><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/solar-pv-deployment-august-2015"
