Its main focus for solar was to end the era of feed-in tariffs (FITs) and instead, for systems over 1MW, it urged the uptake of tendering systems.
Competitive tenders were the way to expose the renewable sector to more market forces, while ensuring that government support could still be provided.
Broadly the sector has welcomed this. The falling costs of solar and the increasing efficiency of modules means that solar will become the cheapest and most economic form of electricity generation in the coming years.
