I note that the FiT register data does have the LLSOA for each entry. So I 
think that could be used as a means of measuring completeness in a more 
granular manner than local authority or the first half of the postcode. The OSM 
data can also be determined per LLSOA. Both the number of installations and the 
total generating capacity could be used. It'd never be perfect, but would help 
to identify areas to survey on the ground.

Thanks Rob - we're using the FiT register already, but please note
that it doesn't disclose any official IDs (for privacy reasons, I
presume) so there's no "primary key", no definitive way to join the
dots e.g. across different versions of the FiT data. The REPD has a
primary key but it only covers larger installations. Most
installations, even if we can find metadata for them, we can't find an
official ID, AFAIK?

I'm almost certain I have pointed it out here already, but in case not: any 
solar PV installation which is receiving a subsidy will be registered and will 
therefore have an ID. Larger installations are installed in the Renewable 
Obligations register. Smaller sites are in the Feed In Tariff register.

The FiT register can be downloaded (in 3 parts) from:
https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/feed-tariff-installation-report-31-march-2019

The RO register can be obtained from the following site. You need to click 
"view public reports", then "Accredited Stations", Next set the page size to 25 
and view the report. Once loaded you can then click the export drop down (the 
save icon/floppy disk) and export the full register to a CSV.
https://www.renewablesandchp.ofgem.gov.uk/

P.S. this is good for almost all sites built up to now. Going forward then 
other sources will need to be found* as the subsidy schemes have come to an end.

* there are none.

Best regards,
Rob
