Another tariff degression? Why it doesn't really matter!

So here we go again. Government has announced that feed-in tariff levels for solar PV installations are to be reduced again effective from the August 1. Residential tariffs will decrease from 21p/kWh to 16p, and typical commercial tariffs at the 50kW scale will reduce from 15.9p/kWh to 13.5p.
