      Public subsidies work, I'm not doubting that. USSR used to grow orange in Siberia too, that a state program can do it doesn't mean it's efficient in any way…

    And yet, the solar panels I installed on my Seattle house a decade ago generated enough power to pay for themselves in six years. Solar works great here. Overcast skies are not a problem: solar panels don't care which direction the photons come from, and they work more efficiently at cooler temperatures.
