Ofgem holds data on payments made by FITs suppliers up to 31 December 2011. For the period from the beginning of the feed-in tariffs scheme (1 April 2010) until that date, the total payments made by FITs suppliers for electricity exported from FITs installations was £2,679,226.81. A significant proportion of this was for “deemed” exports for domestic installations without export meters. £613,291.37 was for exports to the grid from larger, metered installations.

Information on payments per technology is not available; though solar PV currently accounts for the substantial majority of FITs payments.
