Solar companies fear grants fall

The UK’s solar power industry fears the loss of a very successful grants scheme that subsidises homeowners and others to cover the cost of installations.
Companies that build solar power systems are concerned the 10-year programme, which has already cost £31m, will be wound up early in 2006.

The Renewable Power Association claims this will damage the fledging industry.

The government says its commitment to solar is unchanged but it does want to find more efficient ways to fund it.
