DECC’s monthly figures for May show a 6 per cent increase in installed capacity on the previous month as 14,039 installations (66.2 MW) joined the Feed-in Tariff scheme – 3.9 MW more than in April.
Jan Jacob Boom-Wichers, managing director, France, Benelux, UK and Ireland, REC Solar, said: “We are pleased to see that the UK market is slowly stabilising after the sharp drop in installations in March 2012 when the new support scheme took effect. We believe that the DECC degression model supports sustainable growth for the UK solar market as it delays cuts in FiTs if demand is lagging.”
