"As a renewable energy source, solar power has to date, been dependent on government incentives to encourage utilisation. The Government has constantly fought to reduce the incentive levels as installation costs have plummeted. This, in turn, has encouraged increasingly ambitious targets for solar power, yet the Government’s targets are so wide that there appears a lack of conviction to the sector."

- Terry Leggett, Senior Industrial Analyst

Inevitably the renewable energy target by the various energy types will not develop along the anticipated government expectations and the solar sector, boasting extremely rapid deployment, is in an ideal position to make up any shortfall of alternative sources. Moreover it is the renewable energy source gaining the least resistance from consumers and environmentalists.
