Every time subsidies are made, the price goes up because everybody thinks the government has limitless supplies of money.<br><b>References : </b><br>I love solar. Been studying it for a long time, and have installed and repaired systems. It is still just to expensive for most consumer based applications, unless you have money and just do it as a gift to society. Many states have rebates or other subsidy programs.
