Solar-powered UK schools face an 800 percent tax increase
Solar technology could face a huge hurdle in the United Kingdom. Schools and certain businesses with solar panels installed may see a 800 percent raise in taxes when a law goes into effect this April, according to The Independent. It's a harsh blow to the industry when you consider some 12,000 employees from the sector were laid off last year, and installation slowed by 85 percent according to the publication. It's something the Guardian says was caused by the end of subsidies for solar farms and and incentives for homeowners to add solar to their houses.
