Feed-in tariffs have driven rapid growth in solar power in all of the solar-leading countries of the world — Germany, Italy, Australia, the Czech Republic, and others. Last I checked, feed-in tariffs were responsible for nearly 90% of world solar power capacity. […]

Japan’s now moving forward with a broad-based drive to increase use of clean, renewable energy resources, the center piece of which is its national feed-in tariff (FiT). […]

In addition, a huge industry has grown up around solar PV which is creating thousands of jobs at a time when most business sectors are in decline. In the past 12 months alone the number of people working in the industry has jumped from 3,000 to 26,000.
