The fun part is, the Dutch government did put out a subsidy (again) this year (for a maximum of I don't know how many euro). After about 1 week, the money was gone (or rather, so many applications had been sent in, that they had more than enough to cover the money they had reserved...)
I think a lot of people are willing to help, but just can't afford it.
(note, if you do use those panels, you also need an up-to-date electricity meter, one that can measure both ways, in and out. So we're prepared as we do have such an ectricity meter!)
