From the Financial Times:
Ministers have slashed subsidies for large solar projects, warning the government incentive scheme would otherwise have been “overwhelmed”.
The widely foreshadowed outcome of a review of the solar programme drew broad criticism from the industry, which said it would “effectively kill” schemes above 50 kilowatts in size – roughly equal to the number of solar panels that would fit on two tennis courts.
When you’ve got no money, you’ve got to make some uncomfortable decisions.

Besides, it would seem to me that the UK didn’t have weather that was suitable for large-scale solar anyway. WInd? Sure. Tidal. Absolutely. Solar???
