<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. Therefore we have taken steps to control the costs of support schemes
and put solar on a path to delivering without subsidy. We expect subsidy-free solar
to be an increasingly attractive option. Some of the UK’s largest solar developers
have said that they will be installing and connecting subsidy-free sites in 2017.</p><p>
