I've just seen that DECC have a part B of their consultation for the over 5MW solar Farms that actually applies to 50-250kWp RooFIT systems.
They're apparently trying to boost the roof mounted installations in this sector, which I'd support, but the way they're proposing to do it is complete...

MCS 001 Consultation – Closing Date 30th May 2014
Dear Colleague
The MCS 001 Working Group has made some updates to MCS 001, and we invite comments on the revised document.
The relevant documents can be found on the MCS website here.
The consultation is open for a period of two months...
The first draft of amendment 3 is on the IET website (I think you have to be registered to download it).
No great changes apparently, slightly stricter RCD rules for socket outlets is the biggest change spotted so far.
Is or has anyone responded to the RHI consultation?
Has anyone actually read the RHI consultation?
I must admit that I have not. Yet. This time on a Friday is not the best time for me to be reading 116 pages of consultation and Greg barkers face on the front page has put me right...
DECC have kept this pretty quiet, but the deadline for responses is 5pm tomorrow - Tuesday.

Has anyone else read or commented on the new proposals? I'm off to sit outside in the sun to read them although I fear they may make me even more depressed than I currently am! The link is here MCS - Online Consultation if like me you had completely forgotten about it. Feedback has to be...
It seems that another consultation has ended before the closing date (closing date 27-04-2012)!

I've just submitted my response, taking me just over an hour.
If anyone's not responded please get a move on as the consultation closes tomorrow (I'm not entirely clear if this means at midnight tonight, or tomorrow night)...
Comprehensive Review of Feed-in tariffs
Not long until this consultation closes - I'm doing my response now - I reckon it's worth lobbying for a delay until September for the july cuts based on the reduced number of installations. At least it will allow installers to change their business...

I am sorry this is long but it is important. We all need to respond to the phase two consultation. Your voice need to be heard. I would welcome comments and criticism of my thoughts below.
The current post July phase two proposals are very bleak indeed. As an example the assumptions on...
Just can't believe only 2300 responses were received for the first consultation....
Are we all just complaining in forums without expressing our opinion to those who really have the power of doing something about it?
..Just wondering, does anyone have any installations booked for after the 12th Dec?
We've got 1 customer whose new roof won't be ready in time but has vowed to press ahead anyway..
