What you can do to help stop the cuts threatening the UK solar industry

With less than one week to go before the government consultation on major cuts to solar subsidies closes, now is the time to have your say

The public has less than one week to influence planned government policy changes that are expected to dramatically scale back the solar industry.

The government is proposing to cut the solar feed-in tariff by 87%. The subsidy supports householders, small businesses and community groups to invest in solar energy. The changes are currently scheduled to come into force next year, but the public can still contribute to the consultation and potentially influence the outcome.
