Interesting Info about Feed-In Tariffs and Energy Production

...who would not put solar on their (unshaded) roof? If solar power only costs you 15 cents per kilowatt-hour from your roof, and power from your socket costs you 16.5 cents, you already have a 10 percent profit, and that profit margin will only increase...just as we continue to subsidize coal and oil sectors, which have been profitable for 150 years now.


Feed-in Tariffs Needed After Grid Parity

By Craig Morris, Petite Planète   |   February 22, 2011
A few weeks ago, US solar market analyst Paula Mints published an article essentially arguing that solar is about to reach an "un-incentivized future." Don't hold your breath.

There can be no doubt that photovoltaics (PV) has depended upon governmental support. In particular, where proper feed-in tariffs have been offered, PV has done well – and where such policies were quickly discontinued, markets have collapsed.
