Re:Plunging costs make solar, wind and battery storage cheap... by bufferoverflow on Monday January 29, 2018 @01:24PM (#16259461)
Some areas have produced cheaper energy without subsidies as far as 2014. See pages 2-4. It's way better now, since the solar prices went down so much.

And to answer your question about non-tax-farm, I don't know. If the government gives a subsidy, why wouldn't you take it even if you're profitable without it?

Subsidies alone don't prove that the solar farms are not profitable.
