Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what estimate she has made of the number of domestic households that had solar panels installed under the Feed-in Tariffs scheme in the period to 31 December 2015 but did not apply for the generation tariff rate applicable at the time of the installation until after the tariff was reduced on 15 January 2016.

According to Ofgem’s latest installation report for the Feed-in Tariffs scheme, there were five domestic-scale (up to 4kW) solar PV installations that were commissioned prior to 31 December 2015, which subsequently applied for accreditation under the scheme on or after 15 January 2016.
