Poll: Is the government right to cut subsidies for solar panels?
Drastic cuts to solar subsidies are damaging investor confidence, MPs have warned in a letter to the Government. Do you agree with the cuts?
The parliamentary Energy and Climate Change Committee has raised fears about the cuts of almost two thirds to support for domestic solar arrays and a cap on spending for small-scale renewables schemes of £100 million up to 2019.
MPs also expressed concerns that between 9,700 and 18,700 jobs were at risk as a result of the changes to the "feed-in tariffs" subsidy scheme which were announced on Thursday.
The letter to Energy and Climate Change Secretary Amber Rudd said it was "regrettable" the Government was reducing support for renewable energy just days after the UK backed a historic climate agreement at international talks in Paris.
