30 Mar Solar and heat pump sales both up in the UK
(Oilandgaspress) British households are staging a quiet stand on energy independence, ditching fossil fuels to shield themselves from runaway energy costs.
New data from Octopus Energy shows record‑breaking demand for clean tech, with the company logging its biggest‑ever month for enquiries and sales.*
Soaring gas prices and petrol hitting 12‑month highs have sent homeowners scrambling for more predictable energy – and they’re not just browsing, they’re buying.
Solar sales up 54%, as homeowners “supersize” systems with 12 panels instead of the usual 10.
Heat pump sales climbed 51%, with oil and gas users switching off fossil fuels for good.
EV charger sales up 20%, as drivers look to escape unpredictable costs at the pumps.
What began as a spike in interest has turned into a full‑blown installation boom, with energy independence now the top reason cited for homeowners making the switch.
East Anglia has emerged as the UK’s low-carbon capital, topping national charts for both heat pump and solar installations.
To keep up the momentum, Octopus has begun operating a fast-track for oil-reliant households – replacing expensive oil boilers with clean heat pumps in just 10 days from the initial quote to the final installation.
