F. A., by email. ONE salesman admitted to me that he could not fit the panels in time for feed-in tariff payments. He suggested I wait to see what the Government offers next. How honest of him. B. R., by email. PEOPLE should be more focused on the environment. All new-builds should have solar panels fitted and tanks to collect rainwater. B.
