The cost of the good stuff has not halved, we now just have to fit the cheapest **** going is what he is saying. Even so as rightly pointed out 50% of 40% of the job does not equal a 50% cut in the FIT, the FIT rate will be lower than Germany's after they cut it 50% in the New Year. They could have cut it 25% for the 12th and again in April by an agreed further level having sought various views.
What this has done to the industry is encourage everyone to fit anything by anyone to beat the deadline and most of those won't be around in a month let alone a year to back it any of it up.
My scaffolders told me the company set up opposite them is closing the end of the week having done as many installs they can before the deadline now no work and puff gone with the smoke.
If Government doesn't care about consumers why should anyone else what is the point of MCS and REAL it won't protect any of the clients who have been serviced by similar companies or even the ones set up with integrity who'll close if they don't find work.
Shame on the government/ Chris Huhne
