The number of state schools (not including academies and free schools with charitable status) with solar panels installed in your LEA area.

Twenty three (23)

If known, the capacity in KW of the solar panels installed in your LEA.

Any estimate of the business rates liability for your authority in the financial year 2017/18 when the Government removes the relevant exemption for small solar installations.

Schools receive the business rates bills directly and the bills do not separately identify the element of rateable value regarding solar panels.  Devon County Council does not hold this information and therefore is not able to calculate any estimates of the business rates liability in the financial year 2017/18 regarding small solar installations.
