I thought I read somewhere that, due to the Government reducing the
feed-in tariff soon, all available PV installation capacity was taken up. Or did I mis-interpret that? I have no intention of using it. But today I received yet another invitation to call for a no-charge no-commitment consultation. This one from Sunuser, of Leeds, and I am in East Anglia, so I am really sure to use them as a local supplier. Maybe I should take them up on it, just to waste their time! -- Davey. |

The danger is that if they don't reduce the FIT for PV systems they would have to find more money from somewhere. But today I received yet another invitation to call for a no-charge no-commitment consultation. Got a card with the post this morning "Help reduce our carbon footprint and be rewarded with FREE electricity and an income of up to £60,000 for 25 years!" So many weasel words: "our carbon footprint". Whose? Society has a whole or this company? "FREE electricity". Well if you don't count the capital cost... "income of up to £60,000 for 25 years". "For", doesn't that imply £60,000/annum for 25 years? Rather than the reality of up to £60,000 *over* 25 years. They also wanted age group, but only 35-60 and 60+ and number of occupants in the household. Looking to target the elderly on their own or just a couple? Also the name of the company "Green Deal Solar" is trying to link in with the governments "Green Deal" that should appear next autumn. Based in Paisley so only 130 odd miles away. -- Cheers Dave. |

The latest in your nasty, vile abuse of those poor Germans. PV panels have been around for 40 years to my knowledge. Glass, for around 2000 years I think. It's characteristics are well understood. Well, by most people. |

Around £1,500 so far, since 21 April thanks very much for your concern. There are some crooks and exaggerations out there mind. I was looking at a PV advert in the DM yesterday. There was some definitely dodgy claims in it. The future of the industry is going to depend on how much installation costs fall. |
