Official Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) figures out on the end of May, 2015 show that overall UK solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity at the end of April, 2015 reached 6,562 MW, across 698,860 installations - an increase of 0.6 per cent in capacity and 1.6 per cent in installations compared to the end of March 2015.
Capacity accredited under the Renewables Obligation (ROC) stood at 2,327 MW at the end of April 2015, across 11,346 installations, unchanged compared to March 2015. Renewables Obligation capacity represents 35 per cent of total solar PV deployment.
At the end of April 2015, capacity eligible for Feed in Tariffs (FiTs) (MCS, ROO-FIT and RO to FiT transfers) stood at 3,031 MW, across 685,007 installations. This is a 1.3 per cent increase on the March 2015 figure for capacity and a 1.6 per cent increase in installations. Capacity from FiT installations represents 46 per cent of total solar deployment.
Other solar capacity represented 18 per cent of total solar deployment.
2014 overall UK PV capacity grew by 79 per cent compared to 2013
Overall solar PV capacity at the end of 2014 stood at 5,095 MW, an increase of 79 per cent (2,249 MW) on that at the end of 2013. This represented 649,787 installations, which is an increase of 28 per cent (141,316 installations) on that at the end of 2013.
