answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2016 answer text <p>We publish statistics on numbers of solar photovoltaic installations rather than on the number of solar panels installed or whether installations are domestic or small business. Typically installations on domestic properties will be less than 4 kiloWatts in capacity, and those on small businesses between 4 and 50 kiloWatts in capacity.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2016 answer text <p>Departmental officials advise that exchange rates are one of the factors which influence future energy imports and their cost. For example, the cost of importing gas is also affected by the availability and cost of a range of gas supplies, infrastructure constraints and global and regional demand. The cost of importing electricity to the UK through its interconnectors with other European countries is also influenced by the electricity generation mix in Europe, by gas, coal and carbon prices and by the level of electricity demand in the UK and other European countries.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 27/10/2016 11:53:40 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2017 answer text <p>Over 11GW of solar capacity has been installed since 2010, and approximately 6GW was installed in 2015 and 2016. Support for solar installations comes directly from consumer bills, and the Government has accordingly taken steps to control the costs of support schemes and have put solar on a path to subsidy-free deployment.</p><p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy does not undertake comparative assessments of the profitability of the solar panel industry, but the cost of solar PV has fallen over both 2015 and 2016. Between April 2015 and March 2016, the mean cost per kilowatt of a solar PV installation ranged from £1,587 to £2,025, which was on average 11.5 per cent lower than the previous year.</p><p>Source: Solar PV cost data, available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/solar-pv-cost-data" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/solar-pv-cost-data</a></p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/02/2017 15:13:54 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
