That link made me smile..
In this industry there is so much uncertainty, the guidelines are just up in the air, we can all only guess at what is right or wrong..
Then, when they report on anything to do with the FIT they get it wrong too
Come on guys, if you are reporting about Solar PV, use pictures of Solar PV,
Not four old Solar Thermal panels....

Homeowners furious over solar panels rip-off after Energy Saving Group (ESG) goes out of business | This is Money

never heard about this either.

 

[MCS Renewables]

Shame they showed a picture of a Solar Thermal system with the article as the RHI and premium payment for that technology is a joke as well.

And Lord Marland has a vested interest in Solar energies failing, his best mates in Saudi Arabia and UAE, the ones with fossil fuel fortunes, are pulling his strings.....

Due to this hand job merchant I am going to have to burn my wellies.

What kind of muppet pays a company £500 to make a mint from their own roof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
some people are stupid beyond belief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[moggy1968]

It gets worse - who is this muppet!Solar panels subsidy was 'one of the most ridiculous schemes ever dreamed up', Lord Marland says - Telegraph

1.5 billion where did he get that from!!
Lets stop wasting money sending nescaffe drinkers like him on freebie trips round the world to dictatorships with appalling human rights records. Thats one of the most ridiculous schemes ever dreamed up!!
xxxxbag!

 

[moggy1968]

Virtually every single 'fact' in that article is wrong.

 

[The Solar King]

No one at DECC has yet substantiated the £1.6bn figure. It is over 25 years, but as with all their other financial justifications will turn out to be lies and black propaganda. Anyone who needs to propagate this kind of rubbish has as much credibility as the kind of person who would get their wife to take their speeding points.

@MartynWilliams2 We will learn from Germany and focus on a stable rate of return not a fixed tariff that cant respond to plunging prices

@MartynWilliams2 It was because Ed Miliband didnt believe in or understand Feed InTariffs (voted against!) that he made such a hash of it!

@MartynWilliams2 Ed Miliband wrote #FITs policy, I will be publishing my plans 2 reform & improve the system we inherited in matter of days!

 

[SolarCity]

Improve? I already dread reading it.

 

[SibertSolar]

"Improve" could be translated as meaning "better for Big6 energy companies"......

 

[The Solar King]

Hope you don't consider this off topic. FITs are paid by the Energy Companies, not the Treasury. A proportion of everyone's energy bill funds FITs, other renewable obligations plus other Government initiatives. This is a standard proportion. If the money is not spent on FITs where is it going?? Either into higher profits for the Big6 or to be diverted by the Government to prop up the already disastrous Green Deal, or both.

 

[TedM]

This document, although a little out of date (July 2010) is worth reading if you have the time.

http://www.decc.gov.uk/assets/decc/...36-impacts-energy-climate-change-policies.pdf

Goes some way to show the level of double-think that DECC go to, as well.

 

[SibertSolar]

Just fyi but, March 19th, BPVA have an "Eve of Ecobuild Drinks Reception" in the House of Commons but guess who the guest speaker is.........

 

[Earthstore]

It should be TedM, he would get my vote...

 

[SolarCity]

After the lies and spin that that man has spun, after the months of turmoil that he cause the industry, the BPVA (The self proclaimed 'voice of the industry') really think it's a good idea to bring the man in to talk to us? Absolutely staggering.

It's like getting Thatcher in to speak to the miners.

 

[SibertSolar]

lol, I know!

(Greg Barker is the answer btw, in case anyone was still wondering...)

 

[GoB2Bservices]

DECC £70k away days!

clickgreen - Google Search.

 

[GoB2Bservices]

Sorry should have been

DECC shamed over £70k bill for lavish away days > National News > News | Click Green

 

[TedM]

Money spent on away days - would have been money well spent if they hadn't come back again.

 

[dansk]

Idiots

 

[solarsavings]

You can say idiots and I cant fools

 

[Somecamel]

I'm just surprised EDF didn't pay for it

 

[trevor79]

You couldn't make this up!

 

[sambotc]

An away day to arrange an away day? Unreal!

 

[Somecamel]

It's rife in the whole of the civil service- I worked their for 5 years. ( Not DECC)

We would have a meeting to have a meeting and all the senior managers just walk around with clipboards.

 

[GoB2Bservices]

Apparently Lamb is to be led to the slaughter after allegedly Huhne WAS caught by a solar powered Speed Camera and if the rioter that got 6 months for a bottle of water was just? Unfortunately the CPS recommends a maximum of 2 years for perverting the course of justice whereas the actual maximum is LIFE(Well he has wrecked so many!). :gunsmilie:

 

[SibertSolar]

Looks like Huhne is toast.....

CPS statement on Huhne and Pryce

His replacement Ed Davey has quite a "green" pedigree

Edward Davey compared to 'Stop climate change'

 

[SolarCity]

Has Ed Davey been confirmed?

Could be interesting - from your link it seems that he knows the score. I'd have liked Zac Goldsmith but I don't suppose the time is right for him.

By the way, received the AC enclosure yesterday - perfect, just what I wanted ;-)

 

[SibertSolar]

Not 100% confirmed as yet Chris but pretty likely. Ed Davey does have pretty good Green credentials which "should" be good for the industry. We'll see......

I think I just heard that Huhne has now resigned...

Good stuff re: the enclosure, many thanks!

 

[The Solar King]

Heard on the radio
As John Terry has just lost his post as well they should swap jobs. Only problem is you will always notice if a footballers wife takes a penalty!! :bobby::bobby::bobby:

Don't mind me while I bump some threads in the solar PV forum. If they're not current or applicable topics, just ignore the threads; they'll drop off the page. If they are, feel free to chip in and chat solar stuff in the solar panels forum.
