In Germany you get paid a bit above market rates for the electricity that you feed the grid. This is paying off in different ways.
1. They produce over 50% of all solar energy in the world, despite the fact that the country is covered in clouds very often.
2. CO2 reductions are huge, for different reasons. An obvious reason being that people buy solar panels to feed the net. Another one being that consumers will probably start thinking greener as they will be more aware about their consumption.
3. Germany is building a huge solar panel industry with factories and the knowledge that goes with it.
