A new series started this week. The dragons were falling over themselves to provide funding for an established business who sold solar panels. Does this go against the spirit of the show in giving entreprenaurs a leg up?

The dragons must be laughing all the way to the bank by getting 30% return for a proven business and hardly any risk.
I think that's what they did though. He did have an established business but only in a small portion of the country. He was an entreprenaur that needed a bit of a lift to get him out in the wider world. Or maybe I'm being a little naive.
And probably the banks wanted an arm and a leg to lend him the money + a Personal Guarantee to boot.
Dragons' Den Programme Format:

Contestants have what they perceive to be a viable and potentially profitable business idea but lack funding, or are already trading in their business but need additional funds for promotion or expansion.
