Germany's Heated Solar Incentive Disputes End With 'Compromise'
SOLAR INDUSTRY MAG - After months of deliberation and heated disputes, the German government and its federal states have reached an agreement on controversial changes to the country's solar feed-in-tariff (FIT) plan.
When drastic cuts to Germany's solar incentives were announced in February, many in the industry feared the world's largest solar market could be in imminent danger. Thousands of protestors - led by the German Solar Industry Association (BSW-Solar) - stormed Berlin in March to denounce what they said was an attempt to phase out solar subsidies.
