She will be sorely missed by the UK solarcoaster... Well done @LeonieGreene on everything you have achieved! #Fair4Solar #SolarIndependence @thesolartrade
Thrilled to get my mits on my Lifetime Achievement Award from Chair @thesolartrade. Means a lot to me & it's the perfect note to leave on! Was my privilege to help develop the UK solar industry. Thanks to all mobilising #ClimateEmergency solutions, the most vital effort ever! X
It's our Solar Conference on Thursday. New blog ahead of it looks at the future of the sector, and will interest @thesolartrade @REAssociation #Fair4Solar @Locogen @GreenPower_Intl @localenergysco @BurnessPaullLLP @PinsentMasons @BrodiesRenew @shepwedd https://t.co/LcRKlTtqty
Small scale community energy generators have been left with inadequate routes to market and there is little prospect of this changing before the end of the year.

Government policy in recent years has caused the domestic #solar and #batterystorage markets to slow. Policy now relies squarely on the market stepping forward to provide a fair export price for those investing in solar power.

STA Chief Executive @ChrisJHewett has sent an open letter to UK electricity suppliers calling for export tariff offers to be put to #solar households in advance of the 1 January 2020 deadline under @beisgovuk's Smart Export Guarantee (SEG): https://t.co/ljhRbM2Hni

Superb article from EU expert @MollyMEP. Affirms our view that the UK can and should find a way not to increase VAT on solar+battery storage. Grateful for strong cross-party support on this. @Peter_Dowd @CarolineLucas @MhairiBlack @RichardBenyonMP @Sandbach #Fair4Solar
Brexit is political poison, and it’s green policies that are suffering
In which I tangle with the admittedly hideously complex area of the EU VAT regime and explain how government Brexit posturing is damaging the renewables industry

Government must urgently withdraw these badly timed and ill-thought plans. Applying 20% VAT to #solar installations where materials cost over 60% of total could render combined solar+storage and group purchase schemes financially inaccessible.

@beisgovuk This is truly astonishing.. BEIS predicts renewables will make up just 0.5% of total capacity market costs by 2030. Spot on from SolarCentury: “The one missing piece of the puzzle is political will" #Fair4solar #communityenergy #3Denergy #energytransition 2/2
#ICYMI: Following months of solid campaigning by the STA and friends, the Smart Export Tariff has finally been published. Details to come, but there are positive elements to reassure industry and consumers. Many #Fair4Solar allies to thank in due course

Progress, & we look forward to reading full details. In the meantime huge thanks to @1010, as well as @ECALive @GreenpeaceUK @RachelReevesMP @drewhendrySNP @Sandbach @Douglas4Moray @aessolar @wgmin_rural @alanwhiteheadmp & many other supporters of our #Fair4Solar campaign.
The Smart Export Guarantee will ensure that homes and businesses installing:
☀️solar
🌬️wind
🌱and other forms of renewable energy generation
will be paid for each unit of electricity they sell to the grid tracked by their #smartmeter

Inquiry will look at whether Treasury's decarbonisation strategy is fit for purpose (it's not) & how a #JustTransition can be delivered regionally. Accepting submissions until 26th July. #ClimateEmergency #EnergyTransition #3Denergy #CommunityEnergy #Fair4Solar @NVJRobins1
Much needed inquiry into @hmtreasury role in decarbonisation by @CommonsTreasury. Comes as accused of fiddling carbon budget figures & advising BEIS to ignore @theCCCuk, & @PhilipHammondUK lobbying against #netzero. #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChange https://t.co/1vwaLRiMwn
When will #Government formulate a coherent policy on small scale renewables? Chair of the BEIS Select Committee, Rachel Reeves is desperately seeking much-needed answers https://t.co/LEslfOjQKZ #renewables #roofing #solarpv #Solar @solartrade #Fair4Solar
Woohoo go solar! Thanks to our amazing customers who are helping the planet by using solar to power their homes and businesses. You rock! 💚👍🏼☀️🌍 #PlanetMaintenance #solar #solarenergy #renewables #fair4solar #southwest #devon #cornwall #fossilfuels
Thanks to #renewables we're continuing the #coal-free streak, having just hit a record 11 days without the #fossilfuel - the longest period since pre-industrial times! Recent bright conditions have certainly helped #solar to play a significant part in this https://t.co/zHAzRY4edx
✋MCS Backs Industry Plea to Stop VAT Changes ✋
Our installers, which includes many small, independent companies have been battered over the last few months, having to navigate an increasingly difficult landscape. https://t.co/9C4Z82P0Vj
#MCS #Fair4Solar #VAT #ClimateEmergency
Dr @alanwhiteheadmp lambasts HMRC's plans to change how reduced-rate VAT is applied to #solar. The proposals would see the rate increased to 20% where the materials cost of an installation rises above 60% of total cost, likely affecting #batterystorage in particular.

New squinty Twitter pic. Blinded by the light. #Fair4Solar goes when we operate on a level playing field with other tech in the UK. #VAT #BusinessRates #CfDs #Decommissioning #CapitalAllowances #Regulation #CapacityMarket #NetworkCharging #FairExportPayment
Very grateful to @AnnelieseDodds for flagging the urgent matter of HMRC's proposed changes to how VAT is applied to #solar as an energy saving material at today's Treasury Orals, calling on Government to abandon the proposals and take #renewables seriously.
#Fair4Solar
The STA, Microgeneration Certification Scheme, @Regen_insight, @theADEuk, @BEAMAUK, Sustainable Energy Association and @HeatPumpAssoc are calling on HMRC to scrap plans to change how reduced-rate #VAT is applied to energy saving materials:

Lots of confusion flying around HMRC's proposals for #solar VAT. Take a look at this handy thread which sets the record straight.
TLDR: Solar-only installs mostly unaffected. Solar + battery storage at significant risk.
#Fair4Solar
THREAD: There has been some confusion around HMRC's proposals for how VAT is applied to solar. This is a complicated issue where the detail really matters. For more information please see our press release which clarifies complexity: https://t.co/xE1s3Kn8pL
If implemented, HMRC’s complicated proposals will lead to the cost of an installation being charged at the full 20% VAT rate, but only in circumstances where the cost of the materials exceeds 60% of the total cost of the installation.
