    1. the graph refers only to new rooftop installations up until 10kwh,and the subsidy is for electricity sold in the market(the one consumed by producer is not subsidized)
    2. the graph goes until 2019; **by January 2022 the subsidy has fallen even more,to 0.0723 euro/kwh(7.23 cents)**
    3. for larger producers or for installations on fields ,the subsidies are muuuuch lower [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz#Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz_(2021)](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz#Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz_(2021)) as low as **0.047 euro(4.67 cents) per kwh**

    the bad side: the subsidies are for NEW instalations

    the subsidies are guaranteed for 20 years,so old expensive instalations still get their 2005 tarrif

  2. Of course this is how is supposed to work. Incentives fuel the initial market giving cost reduction, cost reduction means more applications became competitive so the market grows further reducing costs.
