<p>The Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme supports solar, wind, hydro, anaerobic digestion
and micro-combined heat and power technologies. On the basis of installations on Ofgem’s
central FIT register, solar is the most popular method of electricity generation accounting
for 99% of all installations (over 830,000) supported under the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The
Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) supports biomass only boilers and biomass
pellet stoves, air source heat pumps, ground source heat pumps and solar thermal panels.
The Domestic RHI has accredited over 69,000 applications for the residential microgeneration
of heat. As of May 2019, air source heat pumps are the most popular method of heat
microgeneration, making up 54% of total accredited applications. More deployment data

of microgeneration not covered by the RHI or FITs scheme.</p>
