I come from an island in the Mediterranean sea. My country is extremely sunny, we get at least 300 sunny days per year and it never rains during the summer, and yet there is very little interest for investing in solar energy! We could run solely on solar power and export too. The problem here is that the EU subsidizes farmers no matter what happens to their crops, whether they dry out, destroyed by hale etc. There are crops that are definitely not suitable for this weather, but farmers use all the fields to grow them anyway while they could use all that land to build solar parks. Why would they want to spend money on a new technology when they get paid anyways?

@elemenya, how much do you pay for one kwh on your island ?
