Solar power in the United Kingdom

OverviewSolar potentialHistoryResidential solar PVLarge scale solar power parksPlanning considerationsGovernment programmesFuture

Solar power has a small but growing role in electricity production in the United Kingdom. There were few installations until 2010, when the UK government mandated subsidies in the form of a feed-in tariff (FIT), paid for by all electricity consumers. In the following years the cost of photovoltaic (PV) panels fell, and the FIT rate
