Helpful background reading is also the think tank Policy Exchange document 'The customer is always right, Putting customers back at the heart of UK Energy Policy', which can be downloaded here:

Like it or not this is hugely influential in Government thinking. Won't bore you with detail of relationship between this organisation and current Government.
Data used in it is out of date and several assumptions used in analysis are very naive. Never the less, they will be extremely damaging.
This and much else is being countered as best the industry can, including pointing out just how affordable solar is in terms of the Levy Control Framework. There has been no release of information showing calculation for the projected overspend by 2020. Interpret that as you wish.

Needless to say there is considerable dialogue over these issues.
If you are not a member of the Solar Trade Association, I would urge you to join. Individually there is little you can do. Collectively there is a huge amount, and this is already happening. Please don't leave it to others to protect the industry.
