16. But there is a problem if you don't.

Next year's deployment is likely to be far less than their goal, with the subsidies suspended. (perhaps they will correct this mid-year)

They are not having this issue with wind power. Why not focus most resources there? Why PV at all? That is my question. It doesn't make sense to me.

If I can deploy more Mw worth of generating capacity with wind, why PV at the levels they attempted to subsidize?

As a result of the subsidy, power bills are going way up, assuming the Government doesn't do something to intervene, like channeling in some money from another source. A huge jump in power bill is not generally a good way to get people to continue to adopt this technology.
