solar subsidies
Photovoltaic financial support
Solar subsidies are government financial incentives—tax credits, rebates, grants, or favorable loan terms—that reduce the cost of solar energy systems for consumers and businesses.
The term appears frequently in debates over energy policy: Solar subsidies helped make rooftop panels affordable for middle-class homeowners.
Critics argue they distort energy markets; supporters say they accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels.
