Well, solar installs have still decreased in price overall. I'm writing this as they are in the middle of installing solar panels on my roof in the sunny Netherlands. ROI in <6 years, solar is doing well here. The refund of VAT (BTW) on the full cost of the install does imply the government is serious about solar, too.

Although I do agree government policy as a whole can be sorely lacking in some areas. The gentle, incremental approach has led us to fall behind almost all EU members in meeting renewable goals.
