Looking like Friends of the Earth win in High Court on solar tariffs. Massive victory for green and decent jobs #fits #solar

Solar companies and Friends of the Earth win case.
Government loses but will appeal.
They kept us waiting but it’s quite dramatic. What happens next…?

dum dee dum dee dum... anyone know any good (solar) jokes while we're waiting? Erm.

I'll start the bar low. How does the cowboy installer affix the panels? with Solartape. (no, i'm completely sober sadly)

 

[whinmoor]

High court says gov cuts of were "legally flawed". It took em so long to work that out?

 

[Earthstore]

And?????

 

[whinmoor]

Great news for the solar industry but its not yet clear what this means for the Government's consultation.

Govt has made an appeal

Breaking: High Court Judge rules solar consultation "legally flawed" - 21 Dec 2011 - News from BusinessGreen

Does that mean Im likely to be able to get 43.3 pence FIT rate next year....?

 

[mdovey]

No-one knows what any panels installed after 12 Dec will get in terms of FIT
a) government is appealing against the decision - UPDATE: permission to appeal has been refused
b) the ruling (I think) was to allow a judicial review of the consultation (which may not in itself change the cut off date)
c) the 12 Dec was technically a proposal so the Govt could still announce a different one in Jan after the consultation

I think the only certainty is that installations after the 12 Dec will not receive a FIT greater than 43.3p

so basically we are no better off !! More delays.....although as we all knew the Government are legally flawed !!

In the mean time what can I tell my customers, Where is REAL ...Can I sell with assumptions based on a consultation period?

Saw an article in the Independant over the weekend, It was a good article with a casestudy about Evoenergy who installed a system last week. They obviously getting around the REAL guidance.....

 

[steve Leese]

Any chance of you posting the article from the independent, thanks steve

So in brief all it's done now is increased the time of uncertainty and will probably result in another hectic time of installing from mid January? Too little too late. Damage is done.

How can we sign clients up for January install if we don't know exactly what the returns are?

 

[Eco Deal]

if you could sign them up !!! where would you get the stock no wholesaler will be ready for a mad rush again !!!!

I would rather just leave things as they are and try to sell at 21.1p instead of going crazy again . just about sat down from last rush !!!!!
