The solar industry is in a bit of turmoil at the moment, with three UK firms announcing that they were planning to close in the last week alone. However, whilst I have some sympathy for them given the utterly shambolic nature of UK energy policy, you might also note that any subsidy that can be cut by 87% was, itself, pretty obscene in the first place.
