This may turn out to be the case but it is not clear at present.
I was of the understanding it you install pre 3 March you WILL receive 43p per KW regardless of the Govt's court case.
Post 3 March is 21p KW but I know they're trying to reduce that even more to 16.5p which is awful!0 -

If you install panels before March 3.
Win or lose - you will receive 43p/kWh until then.
However, if the government win, you will receive 21p after.
If the government lose, you will receive 43p after.0 -
Thats not how I was sold it like - 43p per KW for 25 years if pre March 3, otherwise 21p KW after deadline?0

Agreed that is the present situation.
However there is nothing to stop the Government making a retrospective cut to the FIT wef from xxx date to redress the situation.
In theory there is nothing to prevent the Government reducing, or even abolishing, FIT for everyone.
Agreed that is highly unlikely to happen but making yield taxable and not increasing with inflation is possible.
A precedent is the pension for millions of public servants. Their pension scheme gave inflation increases in line with RPI but that has been changed to CPI; and after challenges by the Unions it has been declared lawful.0 -

Anything is possible. Best to concentrate on what is probable though otherwise we will drift into the realms of fantasy again.0 -

Please remember, everyone who is talking about installations before 3 March (whatever the FiT rate turns out to be), it is not the installation date that counts but the date the FiT registration is received, complete with MCS certificate.2kWp Solar PV - 10*200W Kioto, SMA Sunny Boy 2000HF, SSE facing, some shading in winter, 37° pitch, installed Jun-2011, inverter replaced Sep-2017 AND Feb-2022.0
