Here in Mexico we had something called "Reforma Energetica", basically a constitutional reform of how the electricity is billed in Mexico, one of the few and unknown rule of said bill is that now all the industry has to generate at least 5% of its energy from renewable resources, so almost every major company is installing solar panels... I am on the metal working industry I have a 150 kVa transformer and 20kVa of solar panels installed... There is no subsidies from the government, but if you dont comply you will be fined starting on December 01. I had to invest heavily on my electrical installation, and there is a boom on renewable energies on mexico because of this...

Also, I had to change my capacitor bank to a newer one, an active one.

So maybe its just the US that is lagging on renewable energies...
