answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2017 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>Solar PV is a UK success story, with rapid deployment over last the 5 years. However, support for solar comes directly from consumer bills; as costs fall, it is vital that we control the impact on bills and move towards subsidy-free solar deployment. We recognise the efforts that the solar industry is making to adapt to the revised Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) scheme.</p><p> </p><p>It is too early to assess the impact of the policy changes, but there are promising signs, with more than 160MW of solar deployed under the revised FIT scheme. Many of those who work in solar are also skilled in other building trades, and will move between these with changes in demand. We expect that solar deployment will increase further as costs continue to fall.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 13/09/2017 13:43:39 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
