The document provides an overview of the two-year history of the UK's Feed-in Tariff program. It outlines the development of solar PV incentives over time, from early domestic field trials in 2002 to the surge in installations after the Feed-in Tariff was introduced. Charts and data show installation totals, average system prices, and regional market differences over the first two years of the Feed-in Tariff. The conclusion suggests that while the future quantity of installations remains uncertain, the timing of policy changes is clearer.
