As of 2023, Scotland was home to 163,443 sites generating electricity from renewable sources. Between 2003 and 2023, the number of sites has increased consistently. The large rise in number of sites can be directly related to the increase in the number of solar photovoltaic sites used privately and commercially. In 2023, there were almost 160,000 solar PV sites generating electricity in Scotland.
