it is a very informative post. Makes me want to sell a bunch of my PV stocks, but first I'd like to become more informed in some areas.

The article mostly highlighted the problems coming to the feed in tariff subsidy model. Are you aware of any other proposed models for solar subsidy?

Also, as stated in the article, the subsidized solar portion of RE has become more or less tied into a grid buy back through centralized electric system, ignoring the localized system that wastes less generation on distribution. Are you aware of any incentives built into the tax codes that reward self generated power that reduces the demands on the general public utility? An example would be a separate meter that would measure the KW's a house or building saved through on site generation, then a reduction at the federal and state level of general obligation taxes. It seems such an approach might lessen the gaming of the system and put the subsidy on an individual level, tying in incentive for conservation at the same time.
