The government has
confirmed that it will introduce a new Renewables Obligation Certificate (ROC)
banding specifically for medium-sized roof-mounted solar systems.
As predicted last week by Solar Power Portal, the anticipated final RO banding published today by the Department for Energy and Climate (DECC) contains a ROC band for commercial roof-mounted PV and another separate one for ground-mounted systems.
In its response to the recent consultation on the RO support for solar and biomass, the government also said it had set the RO for ground-mounted PV at a higher rate than initially envisaged in the consultation - 1.6 rather than 1.5/MWh. However, it fell short of the 1.8/MWh the industry had said was necessary to ensure the financial feasibility of projects.
The banding for the new rooftop RO will be set at a higher rate than the ground-mounted PV RO category and is designed to stimulate investment in solar systems on large factory or warehouse buildings.
It will start at 1.7/MWh when it comes into effect next year and fall incrementally by 0.1.MWh each year until 2017, when ROCs will be replaced with the contracts for difference outlined in the Energy Bill.
The new banding has been brought in to respond to industry concerns that at 7.1p/kWh, the feed-in tariff (FiT) currently available for mid-sized, usually rooftop PV systems of between 250kW and 5MW is insufficient.
Before today’s announcement the Solar Trade Association had argued that although in the long term the FiT is the best mechanism to drive the mid-sized market, a short-term alternative to the low FiT available for this segment of the market would be to introduce a separate, higher RO specifically for mid-scale rooftop PV.Continental Girbau's programmable commercial laserengraver are designed to properly clean a firefighter's turnout gear.
DECC said that in setting the RO bands, it had decided to move away from the so-called FiTs equivalency policy, meaning the support levels for PV under the RO will be set separately from the FiTs scheme.
The struggling Cardiff-based dye sensitised solar cell (DSSC) flexible thin-film manufacturer G24 Innovations has been bought by a consortium of private investors.
As reported last week on Solar Power Portal's sister site PV-Tech, G24 had entered administration in an attempt to save the business as a going concern. Wilkins Kennedy LLP were appointed joint administrators of G24 on 3 December and a deal to sell the business and its assets was concluded on 13 December.
Explaining the circumstances behind G24’s administration, Anthony Grant, a partner at Wilikins Kennedy,Modern table lamps, floor lamps, pendants, crystallightmm, and portable lighting. said: “As is not unusual with technology companies, the development costs that were required to bring the product to market were large and sales did not materialise quickly enough.”
Grant added: “Despite securing significant investment, G24 was unable to pay staff salaries or trade creditors,Eastern Laser is the premier laser machine manufacturer that offers innovative carledbulb11, laser engraving machine and laser marking machine. leading a number of creditors to threaten to petition for compulsory liquidation. The directors of the company sought insolvency advice, and, having reviewed the options, they believed that an administration sale would give the best return to creditors.”
Full details of sale have to be revealed, but Wilkins Kennedy said the new owners intend to resume production immediately on the same site, securing all 42 jobs at the company.
