German ministry plans to end subsidies for small solar power systems - Lemmy.zip

This is stupid given that Germany needs every watt of new generation it can get in order to reduce electricity prices (if anything, to kickstart their industrial might again)

It’s going to happen worldwide and it is less of a reflection of a lack of interest, but the current price of PVs mean they are economical even without subsidies. link

I think this is a good thing, IF the subsidies are shifted from PV to other de-carbonising measures (e.g. increased heating system replacement subsidies).
