Dear (MP),

The GovernmentÕs current feed-in tariff proposals for solar PV published in July represent a massive missed opportunity.

Under the proposals, in 2010 the UK will continue to fall further behind countries such as Belgium and the Czech Republic, where the solar power installation rate is already ten times that of the UK.

What we need is a feed-in tariff scheme from April 2010 that is really Òfit for purposeÓ.

The We Support Solar campaign (www.wesupportsolar.net) is calling for at least another 10p on the solar PV tariffs when they are introduced next year. This would deliver:

    * 28,000 UK skilled solar power jobs by 2014
    * over 400,000 new residential solar PV installations by 2014
    * additional investment in UK solar PV manufacturing building on established centres in Wrexham, South Wales and County Durham.

Will you add your voice to the We Support Solar Ô10p on the tariffÕ campaign?

If yes, please write to Secretary of State Ed Miliband MP urging him to put in place a feed-in tariff scheme that really can deliver for solar PV. If you have not done so already please also sign Colin Challen MPÕs EDM 689 welcoming the launch of the We Support Solar campaign and calling on Government to do more to support the potential of solar power in the UK.
