This is because those "environmentalist" laws weren't created to satisfying national energy demand, but only the people's desire to roleplay environment-savers and get paid for it. Similar government schemes played out in much of Europe. Install subsidized solar panels, and the government/electricity companies have to buy your electricity at unsustainably high prices whenever you produce it, regardless if they need it/can handle it. Obviously, as far as I know, this didn't last very long, especially in the countries with more limited budgets. Eventually the sale prices dropped close to normal wholesale electricity prices and the subsidies were dropped. Those who installed the panels late in the bubble probably got out with a loss. It was just a terrible idea all around. The grid isn't made for distributed production, energy storage isn't solved, and solar electricity is just not sustainable as rooftop photovoltaics.
