英國政府政府已經從能源和氣候變化部預算中削減了8.5億英鎊的預算，2010~2011年，作為英國政府各部門第一波削減60億英鎊預算的組成部分因此，低碳建筑方案（LCBP）的資金，其中包括以前建立太陽能設施的資金已被刪除。據光伏技術公司的姊妹網站， solarpowerportal.co.uk的LCBP已成功地掌握了微型光電通過技術，自從該計劃開始于2006年開始以來，已經能提供約20,000費用補助的資金和安裝費。

The new UK coalition government has cut £85 million from the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) budget as part of a first wave of £6 billion of cuts across departments for 2010/2011. As a result, funding of the Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP), which included the previously establish funding for solar installations has been dropped. As yet no changes to the recently introduced UK FiT system have been announced.

According to PV-Tech’s sister website, solarpowerportal.co.uk, the LCBP had been successful in driving the adoption of microgeneration technology, including PV, having  providing approximately 20,000 grants for the capital and installation costs since the scheme started in 2006.

Applications worth £63 million for payment in 2010-11 were said to be unaffected by the cuts.
