Posted By: SteamyTeaIt would also be hard to try and convince companies that are currently making losses to invest large amounts on PV while they are trying to restructure their core business. i.e. Morrisons, Tesco.I note that the poxy little greenwash turbines have gone from Tesco in Wick and have been replaced by a decent amount of PV.
The real simple way to do it though is to tax energy more, higher prices tend to focus the mind.Specifically, fossil carbon sourced energy, of course. Mucking about with the planning rules is doing it all back to front.

Posted By: SteamyTeaget PV fitted on large roofs is on the public service buildings i.e schools, universities, police, fire and ambulance stations, libraries, council buildings (down here they have tried, but hampered with old buildings)It's noticeable how extremely common public-roof PV is, 'down here' in Cornwall (just got back with the caravan - sorry I missed you again ST).

Posted By: CWattersIf planning policies can mandate huge earth works to try to screen these large warehouses why cant they mandate or at least strongly encourage PV on the roofs?And/or on the huge banks?
