You have to get to the stage where by you ask yourself, "is this worth it?"
currently my answer is NO. The damage to the renewable industry called PV is done and in my opinion irreversibly so as well. We have lost faith with the client because of the SUDDEN change, something that will take many years to build back. Whats stopping them from doing it again I've been asked. We get criticised for asking for to much dosh up front, we have our one man bands QMS scrutinised by people who have not a clue about business and want us to have a system in place to tell ME that I should not fit a damaged item to a roof, or I should have a meeting with MYSELF every three months, It's not enough to have an index showing 18 pages I need to show page 1 of 18, I need to prove this is the newest version, I don't give my forms a number to identify them (no I give them a F-ing NAME!) etc. We have DNO's who's only objective is to stand in the way of work or charge £18,000 to install a three phase supply as the application form stated for PV on it! Suppliers who loose more bloody FITs contracts then England has world cups (And that's likely to get worse!) Supplier's who's accountancy systems even NASA would struggle to understand and when they do add up there wrong! Conforming bodies who's only aim is to lift my wallet out of my pocket at any given opportunity (Oh yes on that note.....MR NICEIC, FOR THE LAST TIME, WHERE ARE OUR DC COMMISSIONING CERTIFICATES YOU PROMISED IN 2010?) and then when the crunch comes sit quietly in the back ground not making a sound (where's our support you bunch of spineless gits?) MCS introduce a £15 charge for ME to do MY notification MYSELF online using MY computer on MY electric in MY time........(I do hope I can get a refund back to my paypal account for the notifications I now will not do (Ha don't even get a discount for buying more CREDIT's at one time)
I tell you, as you might see it's not been a good day. I could go on but I have my friend Jack next to me with a little ice to boot so I'd better not run on or the language will be to much to moderate!
Take it one day at a time. flood lights on the scaffold to get a job finished is a joke but we will do it. Come four weeks time or sooner I will be hanging up my PV hat for a time until either one of two things happen. The industry is revived or something said on Monday is changed either way my heart for renewable's is sagging. I pity our children.............Oh is that another polar bear I hear slipping of an iceberg?
