If someone pulls the government out of the solar business, it might lead to lower PV prices.

Just think about it. If you were selling a product for $5 bucks a pound,
and suddenly the government promised your customers a $3 refund per pound..

Wouldn't you start thinking about a price hike?? Get in on some of that 'free' cash??

Maybe having solar installed is over-priced, because of the gov rebates & tax breaks??
