Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many mid-scale PV roofs were installed in (a) London and (b) the UK in 2014-15; and if she will make a statement.

There is no official definition of ‘mid-scale’ PV installations, while details on the siting of panels are not available for the majority of installations.

The table below therefore gives the number of installations, disaggregated by capacity band, of schemes supported by the GB Feed in Tariff, installed in each of 2014 and 2015, excluding standalone schemes (as these are defined as not supplying electricity to a dwelling and are therefore unlikely to be standard roof installations). For Northern Ireland, all installations are less than 50 kW, and are assumed to be roof-top sited, so are included.
