Thousands of households and businesses can now compete in a position to
higher payments after the government does not overturn earlier ruling that cuts
were illegal
The government lost its appeal on Wednesday against a decision of the judge that his cuts were illegally funding for solar power, suggesting thousands of homes and businesses now in a position to demand higher payments.
Three appeal court judges unanimously dismissed the appeal of Chris Huhne, the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Energy and Climate Change (Decc), which he would take the case to the Supreme Court said.
The decision, the uncertainty that has seen the number of solar collector systems crash, since the 12th December was extended immediately condemned by opponents of the cuts. Green MEP Caroline Lucas said: "After we lost twice in the courts and were roundly humiliated in the chaotic handling of solar policy, it is absolutely unbelievable that Huhne is planning to appeal to the Supreme Court."
Daniel Green of HomeSun, one of the companies that the government took in court, said: "Almost everyone, except Decc have the potential and importance of the solar industry value - from the National Trust, the Church of England to the CBI and the British people. "
The government announced proposed cuts in solar feed-in tariff payments in October.
Promoting the development of renewable energies is an important part of the government's plans to meet with the British legally binding cuts in carbon emissions, although wind power far more support than solar power receives. Green activists say the solar industry and many thousands of jobs have been lost and that the government's actions undermine his claim to the profoundly "greenest ever" be, although some of them cut in the solar subsidy was necessary consent.
A Decc spokeswoman said: "We estimate the uncertainty is entirely in the solar industry, and hopefully the date of 3rd March to provide some security."
Decc legal fees have cost the taxpayer £ 58,000 so far, although this does not include the cost of their opponents, who said the appellate court must also pay Decc.
The appellate court refused to try Huhne, a hearing in the Supreme Court, but that does not prevent the Secretary of State, the right to the higher authority. Some activists have suggested that continued uncertainty will reduce the number of new installations, and thus reduce the number entitled to the higher feed-in tariff, if the government ultimately loses his case.
John Cridland, Director General of the CBI, said: "The judgment should be used to draw a line under this saga that saw the government achieved a spectacular own goal and the confidence in the renewable energy industry undermined draw."Gaynor Hartnell, chairman of the Renewable Energy Association, disagreed. December.
David Parsons, Chairman of the Local Government Association Environment Board, said: "By announcing the cuts at such short notice, Decc the deletion of thousands of solar collector systems caused some councils wrote millions of pounds had been spent to prepare and tender plants.."

Consumer solar panels currently operate at about 5% to 18% efficiency, and this number has increased significantly in the past decade. There is a robust industry built around producing innovative solar panels that can absorb even more sunlight, and it seems likely that affordable consumer solar panels absorbing 20% to 30% will be available before too long.
