A fresh fight is brewing within the solar panel industry, as installers prepare to mount another public campaign against the NSW government over the state's axed tariff.

The government is standing firm on a decision reached last week to get the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal to investigate a future tariff rate at which solar households could be paid for the electricity they feed back into the power grid.

But solar panel companies say they cannot wait until next year for the review to take place.

The industry claims that 73 workers a day are losing their jobs because of the uncertainty around tariff cuts, basing the figure on an estimate that the 8000-strong solar workforce will decline by half in the next two months.

One installer, NewSouthSolar, said it had been reduced in the past few weeks from a peak staff of 20 employees and contractors to just one - the company's director, David Trouville.
