Let’s make that a bit shorter:

[out:json];
area["name"="United Kingdom"]->.searchArea;
nwr(area.searchArea)["generator:source"="solar"]['generator:output:electricity'='yes'];
out body;
>;
out skel qt;

Much better thanks!

To find solar farms I guess these tags would be better:

power=plant
+ plant:source=solar
+ plant:method=photovoltaic
+ plant:output:electricity=*

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:generator:source%3Dsolar

[out:json];
area["name"="United Kingdom"]->.searchArea;
nwr(area.searchArea)["plant:source"="solar"]["plant:method"="photovoltaic"]['plant:output:electricity'='yes'];
out body;
>;
out skel qt;
