Help the STA retain the right to fair payment for solar power in UK. Solar Trade Association has launched a new campaign to ‘Safeguard an effective policy framework rooftop solar power and the rights of everyday consumers from April next year’.
They would be very grateful if you could sign the open letter to Claire Perry MP, Minister of State for the Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy. If any other staff, such as Directors, Chief Executives and Chief Advisors in your business are able to sign, this letter will have an even greater impact!

As you may have seen, the very overdue consultation to closure of the Feed-In-Tariff was published two weeks ago. In it, the Government proposes to close the export payment for surplus power exported to the grid, as well as the generation tariff. There is no certainty on what may come next and regulatory spaghetti of barriers to overcome before any market for such power is likely to emerge. The letter explains the many reasons why this presents a serious problem, but the bottom line is that anyone who installs solar from April 2019 onwards will almost certainly have to give away any exported power for free.
If you feel, like many, that this is an unacceptable position to put consumers in, then please let the STA know you are happy to be added as a signatory.
Please click the link (at the end) to reply to Jack Dobson-Smith who is coordinating all responses, and please share with as many colleagues as possible.
The STA intend to publish and publicise this letter before the end of the FIT consultation on September 13th. If you would like to get more closely involved in their wider planned campaigning efforts on this issue, they would be delighted to hear from you.
