More than 28,000 homes and 450 business premises in Scotland have installed solar photo-voltaic systems, December figures from regulator Ofgem show. The capacity of these systems has reached 106 megawatts, up from just two megawatts in 2010 and an increase of 36% on the same time last year. Passing the 100 megawatt mark was described as a “significant milestone”” by proponents of the technology yesterday.
