<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.
The number of <em>installations</em> within each of these capacity bands over the
last three years for which statistics are available is as follows:</p><p> </p><p><strong><em>Number
of installations</em></strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>
2013 </strong></p></td><td><p><strong> 2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> 2015</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><em>0-4
kW – largely domestic</em></p></td><td><p>97,327</p></td><td><p>131,994</p></td><td><p>179,066</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><em>4-50
kW – largely small businesses</em></p></td><td><p>8,086</p></td><td><p>9,041</p></td><td><p>12,254</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
