According to the latest figures published by the Depart-
ment for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy, as of
the end of September 2016, overall UK solar PV capacity
stood at 11,152 MW across 891,409 installations. This is
an increase of 30% (2,572 MW) compared to September
2015. Provisionally, September 2016 saw 21 MW (4,461
installations) of solar PV capacity being deployed
throughout the month, with the main drivers (46%
of capacity) being small scale 0 to ≤ 4 kW schemes in
Great Britain and Northern Ireland. To date, 49% (5,462
MW) of total installed solar PV capacity comes from
large scale installations greater than 5 MW, with 22%
(2,441 MW) coming from small scale 0 to 4 kW installa-
tions. At the end of June 2016 (end Quarter 2), 53% of
capacity (5,669 MW) came from ground-mounted or
standalone solar installations.
