The figures for (a) and (d) are published at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/solar-photovoltaics-deployment.

The ground-mounted solar PV is broken down into FiTs (standalone), RO (ground mounted and CfD (ground mounted) in Table 2.

(e) Figures for solar deployment up to November 2019 are published by the Department at the link in part (a) – (d).

These figures include data from BEIS’s major power producers surve, the Renewable Energy Planning Database (REPD) and the Microgeneration Certification Scheme database (MCS).
