Physics.
PV just does not work out well in scandinavia, and is so-so to marginal in the UK territories.
It´s hard on You guys, and I symphatise, but theres nothing anyone can do.
At some point a high-power transmission line, probably a superconductor, will be feasible to connect northern europe with say sahara.
Just as a thought exercise, a 10 x 10 km PV plant of 100% efficiency would generate as much power as the whole of the earth currently uses.
At our current 20% efficiency rating it would need a 50x10 km area to power the whole earth --
in reality, 3 plants spread throughout the world so the sun always shines somewhere.
