[SolarCity]

Beat me by 3 minutes. I nearly fell of my chair.

Brilliant news.

 

[TedM]

The question now will be - how many people will fire up their lawyers to get compensation for any losses?

 

[d1ssc]

I know, delighted about it, so will everyones clients be!

 

[BruceB]

outstanding!

 

[SibertSolar]

fast work guys, lol, beat me by about 5mins! Good news I guess....will this simplify the process of explaining the situation to the end-user, or make it more complex?

 

[babba]

Justice has been done...

 

[SibertSolar]

Nice to have a buzz of good news about the industry! Twitter's gone mad

 

[SibertSolar]

Does this mean that DECC will push for the lowest of the 3 proposed digression schemes??

This hopefully opens the door for companies to sue for loss of earnings.

Andy is right.
The real issue now is what this means for the industry going forward in terms of the FITs budget and the Levy Control Framework. We may know at the beginning of April whether or not the Office for National Statistics considers FITs inside the public spending envelope. If it is not there may be some leeway but do not depend on it.

We got a further rodgering in the budget over capital allowances so do not count on friends in high places. There may yet be a spiteful response from people who govern by cock up.

Sobering thoughts Peter

Just emailed all our February customers to let them know it's party time Fingers crossed they'll feel so good they'll tell their friends and family to come to us!

Great to be feeling positive for a change!

 

[jupestar]

Great news for our customers. Bad news for our future FIT budgets.

Just noticed this thread. Great news for the end of the week and good on the supreme court.

The DECC got what they deserved because of the way they handled it. Alas, they largely succeded by putting doubt in peoples mind as to what tarriff they might receive.

At least it draws a line under it now and saves a couple of years of uncertainty.

 

[Fazzathebrave]

Well I'm a happy customer who got installed at the end of Feb. The calculations were looking OK at 21p but even better now

I find this page on Deccs news website funny....

Read what Ed Daveys says- then cast your eyes to the tweeter link to the right-----
"......cost effectiveness of solar and other microgeneration technologies for the many, not the few.”

Feed-in Tariffs appeal decision - Department of Energy and Climate Change

(i don't know how much subsidies windfarms gets- but i am sure they get some and most investment for them is not form the UK)

This is good news for the industry. however if the flood gates open for claims of loss of earnings it'll be the tax payer that foots the bill...
