But in the end it was the Chinese solar companies that reaped the money from the subsidies as they dominated the industry. This is true for all of the EU, not just Germany.

(that's for China specifically, but the shape is the same everywhere.)
- BlueTemplar 6y agoInteresting, how much does the on-grid solar cost compared to off-grid ? Also, they seem to be mostly talking about cities... which already have an electrical grid !
