The Central FiTs Register (CFR) contains all of the installations confirmed on the FiTs scheme; from this database domestic solar installations can be identified. The number of new domestic installations per year is set out in the table below. Domestic installations that have not accredited under the FiT scheme are not captured in these figures.

Annual Period

2013

2014

2015

2016

2017

  1. Central Feed-in Tariff Register (CFR) data is provided to BEIS quarterly by Ofgem and details all of the installations currently confirmed on the FiTs scheme. There is a lag in the CFR data compared to the FiTs application data, due to the process for approval onto the scheme. Data for 2017 is provisional.
