The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what information his Department holds on the number of rooftop solar panels in use in Lincolnshire.

Answered by Michael Shanks

The Government does not have data for the number of rooftop solar panels in total by parliamentary constituency; however, we do hold figures for domestic solar installations across parliamentary constituencies, and these are available online.

Our latest figures show that Lincolnshire, across all eight parliamentary constituencies, has 134MW of solar capacity across 34,060 domestic installations. Boston & Skegness is currently out in front with 23MW and 5,731 installs, and South Holland and The Deepings is not far behind with 18.9MW and 4,982 installs.
