I think I heard the government was also cutting their subsidies? Is that true?
I don't think most subsidies are good, but sometimes they could be needed if you want the future to look a certain way, and I don't think it's right to cut the subsidies of the solar industry after just a few short years, when the oil industry has been getting subsidies for almost a century, and keeps getting them (this goes for most countries).
The problem is that the German subsidies to solar power are extremely high, have the form of price guarantees (i.e. their total amount is unlimited!) and are paid for by private consumers via their electricity bill - and have reached already reached the level where they're a noticeable drain on the funds of poorer households.
