Of course, the SRECs and other subsidies are the only reason that there is actually a solar industry anyway. The economics of solar simply don't work and would not attract any investment at all if it were not for huge crony-ready subsidies paid by governments.
(FWIW, I'm not anti-solar at all, but I am a realist, and spent six years in the utility/commercial solar industry.

If we let solar supplement out energy instead of replace it, it's close to useless. Solar needs to be a pressure to reduce our carbon footprint, only then would it be tax dollars well spent.
