answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2022 answer text <p>Based on the best available evidence, the Government estimates the current total cost of installing an air source heat pump to replace a gas boiler in an average three-bedroom semi-detached house to be around £10,500. However, as the market develops, heat pump installation costs are expected to fall. In the Heat and Buildings Strategy, the Government set an ambition to reduce the upfront costs of installing a heat pump by 25-50% by 2025.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 18/01/2022 16:20:48 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2022 answer text <p>The cost of installing a domestic solar PV system varies with the type of solar panels, space for installation and roof design. In December 2021, the Department for Levelling Up Housing and Communities published indicative data on costs for fitting solar panel systems on new homes. The fixed cost to install a solar PV system of under 4kW capacity system is £1,100, with a variable cost of £600 for each kW installed[1]. Data published by the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy in May 2021 indicate the mean cost per kW for installations smaller than 4kW, whether new build or retrofit, has reduced from £2,080 in 2013/14 to £ 1,628 per kW installed in 2020/21[2].</p><p> </p><p>Research by consumers’ association Which?[3] and the Energy Savings Trust estimates that the cost of a typical domestic solar installation of 3.5kW capacity and comprising 10 to 15 panels, is around £4,800 [4].</p><p> </p><p><em>[1]<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1040631/Domestic_Part_L.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1040631/Domestic_Part_L.pdf</a></em></p><p><em>[2] <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fstatistics%2Fsolar-pv-cost-data&amp;data=04%7C01%7CBoris.Rogatchevski%40beis.gov.uk%7Cde24c3bc338a4793678508d9d7866f96%7Ccbac700502c143ebb497e6492d1b2dd8%7C0%7C0%7C637777794654631361%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=b5zXBwg3ff9LDhxPYG7HVIDpl0hLpcJ%2BN9Qt%2FjD1vss%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/solar-pv-cost-data</a></em></p><p><em>[3] <a href="https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/solar-panels/article/solar-panels/solar-panel-costs-aDxBY2v7kr60" target="_blank">https://www.which.co.uk/reviews/solar-panels/article/solar-panels/solar-panel-costs-aDxBY2v7kr60</a></em></p><p><em>[4] <a href="https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/solar-panels/#jumpto-17" target="_blank">https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/solar-panels/#jumpto-17</a> and <a href="https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/solar-panels/" target="_blank">https://energysavingtrust.org.uk/advice/solar-panels/</a></em></p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 18/01/2022 16:18:38 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
