Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many domestic solar PV installations were made in the UK in each of the last five years for which records are available.

The table below provides the number of domestic solar PV installations in the UK from 2010 to 2015 (data up to June for 2015). Data for Great Britain are for installations supported by the Feed in Tariff, designated as being for domestic use. For Northern Ireland, there is no breakdown of sector available, but all installations are less than 50 kW, and are all included here.
