Enough with the solar panel subsidies, let's just get rid of them already!

I was chatting with my mate Dave the other week, he runs a small plumbing business. He’s been absolutely hammered by rising energy costs, like most small businesses. But he was also complaining about how he sees these fancy houses with rows and rows of solar panels on their roofs, all apparently subsidised by taxpayers. It just doesn’t seem right when blokes like him are struggling to keep the lights on. It feels like we’re propping up something that should stand on its own two feet by now.

My proposal is simple: scrap all government subsidies and tax breaks for domestic solar panel installations. Let’s be honest, the technology has matured considerably. If it’s a sound investment, people and businesses will make it. If it’s not, then maybe we shouldn't be forcing it through taxpayer money.
