Good post. Spot on.
This is just a tiny pull back of subsidies when you look at the big picture.

It will be interesting to watch this situation develop.

Good Post About How China Is Playing The Market
Yes, I agree, the Chinese are making some cuts while still controlling the marketplace to get some positive PR... You can be sure that they will do everything they can to undercut any supplier on all large projects World-Wide!

The SIMPLE solution IMO is to require ever longer guarantees for ALL solar panels that are installed, that way those that make higher quality panels (say with a 50 year guarantee) can compete against lower cost panels with shorter lifetimes... This would benefit everyone and help US get Solarized!

It was inevitable.
And will continue. Governmental solar subsidies don't last forever; witness the situation in European nations.
