Slight digression, but just to say that most of these articles these days are very fair when they give household equivalents, taking capacity factor into account. I've noticed the same of wind farms too.

I make the generation (per house, out of those 330,00 houses) roughly 2,500kWh, which I think is reasonable for a UK household (excluding HP's and EV's).

Just thought I'd mention in case folk read these articles, and wonder.
8.7kWp PV [2.12kWp SSW + 4.61kWp ESE PV + 2.0kWp WNW PV]
Two BEV's.
Two small A2A heatpumps.
20kWh Battery storage.

Just as an addition to Mart’s post.

These household equivalents are only the half of it. Industry requirements are as large as the domestic market.
