I believe this is due in the UK (from 2027) which is quite far north from the equator: new homes need a certain percentage of the roof covered in solar cells. It won't be enough to be self sufficient but it does offset a bit I guess

My London-based solar panels make us (net) self sufficient across the year.

They produce about 3,800kWh every year - which is bang on the average home electrical consumption.

Even in winter they offset our bills by a decent amount.
