OP
End of Solar
Moggy, *I have kept an eye on all the posts and get the impression you all want it to be higher than 21p ergo unsustainable. Also when you do try and get the work back off the likes of me who has benefitted from lack of competition, good luck. As for business advice, you don't know my achievements so it tells me you are an idiot for rejecting my advice when you you have made a judgement on my ability based on the fact you did not like what I said within 10 minutes of my posting. My point about the cost of panels was merely to demonstrate the inflated prices of the panels due to the extremely high FIT and the manufacturers know this.
Solarelectrix, despite the tone of my post I do have some sympathy for the many small companies on here that will have it difficult, but I will ask you how was your business plan set out. Was it over 5 years or more with an exit strategy for when the solar PV installation took a dive as has been the case in many countries around the world?
MEP ELEC, I did join the solar PV installation business, but ran it with my electrical business. The electrical work I do is more than house bashing so hammer and bolsters will be used along side all the other gear we use on a daily basis. End of solar was not meant as an absolute, just something to make you all think, seems it worked. Solar will still continue over the next few years but in a very different way, it's up to all of us to force our companies into the direction.
Bumcrack, not the best one to talk about normal names...? I was not actually registered on this website until now but have generally looked in from time to time.
Julian, no I don't work for the DECC. I apologise if my comments are smug and patronising, it was more meant as a bit of an eye opener for those on here that find themselves in a bad position. Inaccurate? You tell me where?
Noshocks, I would not call installing PV day in day out varied, but it is enjoyable yes. I too like you have made good money from this, I was just merely pointing out something that has not been mentioned here yet, not that I have seen anyhow, that there needs to be a big change in people's opinions as to the future of the Solar PV industry. Thanks for the 'fool' insult by the way, now that I too have no debts, a new extension with pool and new vehicles seems most people would want to be a fool too.
Reveal myself? Na! I would just get hate mail because you passnately disagree with my opinion which I am entitled to along with my anonymity.
