Solar power generation in June is on track to come within a hair’s breadth of the record set during an unusually sunny May in 2020 at about 20 gigawatt hours, according to Alastair Buckley, the professor of organic electronics at the University of Sheffield.

20 GWh for May 2020 seems to be wrong. According to ember-climate solar produced nearly 2 TWh in that month. Or is this referring to single day record?

Maybe some tech journalists should start to use an AI reviewer. KW and Kwh are still a difficult topic for many people.

Not sure, below it states "In total, the UK has about 15 gigawatts of solar power capacity across the country".

If it was 2TB per month it would be more than 60 per day anyway, so something is wrong in that article
