DECC preparing Solar Industry for Feed-in Tariff Reduction


Smeaton Wood Energy attended a seminar with DECC last week where the government body was clearly preparing the solar panel industry for some reductions in feed-in tariff. Further to this more undenied rumours have been emerging in the press of late supporting these comments from DECC on Feed-in tariff reductions. This article on the likely Feed-in tariff reductions by Solar Power Portal summarises the position: http://www.solarpowerportal.co.uk/news/decc_to_launch_big_reset_of_solar_subsidies_within_weeks


Therefore in short if you are considering installing solar panels to benefit from the current feed-in tariff rates for the next 20 years, act now. Smeaton Wood Energy has a fantastic turnaround rate with it typically taking us no more than 4 weeks from contract date to installation date for commercial solar panel projects.
