During the period of consideration, the average installation costs of small-scale solar PV systems in the United Kingdom have fluctuated. The installation cost per kW has consistently been the most expensive for the 0-4kW band. During 2018, prices peaked for the year in June at 1,939 British pounds per Kw installed.
Installations
In the financial year of April 2018 to March 2019, there were 32,370 installations in the 0-4kW band. This was an increase of 64 percent when compared to the same period the previous year. The highest number of installations occurred in March 2019, at 7,818.
Feed-in-Tariff
The Feed-in Tariff (FIT) scheme was introduced in April 2010. It was a government program designed to promote the uptake of low-carbon and renewable electricity generation technologies. Since its introduction, the capacity of the FIT scheme for solar PV was highest in the first quarter of 2012 at 404,782 kW. By January 2019, the total capacity of Solar PV installations under the FIT scheme reached 4,904,299 kW. The scheme ended in April 2019.
