<p>The Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) published a report:
The Size and Performance of the UK Low Carbon, which contains data on trends in the
size of the UK low carbon economy for 2010 to 2013, including the UK solar sector.
This report can be viewed online at: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416240/bis-15-206-size-and-performance-of-uk-low-carbon-economy.pdf"

Department commissioned the Office for National Statistics to collect and publish
data on trends in the low carbon and renewable energy sector, which includes the UK
solar sector, in the form of their Low Carbon and Renewable Energy Economy Survey
(LCREE) covering 2014 to 2017. This can be found online at: <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/bulletins/finalestimates/previousreleases"
target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/environmentalaccounts/bulletins/finalestimates/previousreleases</a>.</p><p>Due
to differences in methodology, drawing comparisons between data contained in the report
published by BIS and data contained in the LCREE may produce misleading conclusions.
Comparing estimates from 2014 with estimates from later years of the LCREE survey
may also produce misleading conclusions due to changes in the sample methodology that
have taken place since.</p>
