	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2017 answer text <p>Solar power is a UK success story, with rapid deployment over the last 7 years. Latest figures indicate that we now have over 12.5GW of solar capacity installed in the UK, enough to power over 2.7 million homes and exceeding our historic projections.</p><p> </p><p>Support for solar comes directly from people's bills, so when costs come down, so should support.
