PV Solar is so hopelessly uncompetitive that it has to be subsidised for the few
with taxpayers' money.
Not very clever really.

So, who subsidized my solar array? Nobody but me. Would you like to try
again?

My objection is with public money going to subsidise PV generation where grid
electricity is readily available ( it's a daft use of good money ).
You're off grid aren't you ? That's an entirely different matter and you no doubt
considered your options intelligently before going for it. I suspect you may
likely
have other 'green' energy sources too.

Graham,
sure ...for now PV solar may relay on subsides....but those subsides
will be gone soon.
One the other hand, as more people get PV Solar, utility companies will
have to charge you and those who do not have PV solar way more in order
to make up for the business they slowly loose.
My point is, go ahead and wait more before you get PV solar...and you
will be paying not for the our subside PV systems, but our utility
bills, too.
Your choice!

And ppl wil stop buying them. PV solar is insane when you have grid electrcity
available
at one tenth the price or less.

Nonsense.
The business they'll lose is a like a gnat's bite !
