Solar energy. An attractive choice even without subventions.

 

Feed-in compensation - the amount per KW paid out for feeding solar power into the public grid - is a reliable, continuous source of capital for solar plants. The government has, and continues to, subsidize feed-in compensation. There are no worldwide uniform regulations for this compensation. Subvention amounts, which includes the construction of solar plants, depend on size: particularly in the industrial nations, the key factor is adherence to climate goals; in the growth markets, e.g. developing economically underdeveloped regions, the development of a solar industry that presents a promise for the future is more important. It can be assumed that individual countries, such as the USA at the moment, will continually create new incentives to accelerate the expansion of solar energy.

Decreasing setup costs, or that financial capital that goes into a plant's construction and operation, are a key factor in the attractiveness of solar energy. The cost of plant construction has fallen considerably in recent years due to reliable technologies, efficient manufacturing, and increasing manufacturer competition. This development counteracts any potential future limitations that may be placed on government subsidies.

As a result, solar energy production offers highly attractive possibilities as a capital investment - not to mention the fact that it makes a key contribution to the global reduction of CO2 emissions. Experienced companies - such as the MEP Group - that cover the complete value chain of solar projects with its services will become increasingly important within this context.
