"In response to a statement published by Solarcentury we feel that it is necessary for the BPVA to respond stating the facts," the British Photovoltaic Association (BPVA) emphasizes on its website.

"The position of the BPVA with regards to the court case has always been: We believe that the reference date of 12th December and the retrospective changes to law through secondary legislation are illegal."


BPVA: higher tariff will rapidly deplete the budget

"The majority of our members feel tariff levels should be reduced, and they wish there to be clarity and stability of the feed in tariff as soon as possible. The longer the higher tariff levels persist, the more rapidly the budget will be depleted," BPVA notes.

The association accentuates that this would not be in the long term interests of the solar industry or the other technologies supported by the feed in tariff. "We believe that Solarcentury have made their statement not knowing the above position of the BPVA. Since then we have spoken to Solarcentury and the situation has been clarified.”
