Solar legal claim could rise above £100m

摘要

The legal action against the government from solar firms claiming lost earnings caused by illegal changes to the solar electricity feed-in tariff could swell to more than £100m, sources have claimed, writes Vern Pitt. The firms claim they lost millions of pounds worth of business after the government announced in October 2011 that it would slash by half the feed-in tariff (FIT) for solar power, which is paid to people who install solar panels on their property for the power generated.
