[pdf] During the in the United States, oil prices decreased and the US removed most of its policies that supported its solar industry. Government subsidies were higher in Germany (as well as ), which prompted the solar industry supply chain to begin moving from the US to those countries. Germany was one of the first countries to deploy grid-scale PV power. In 2004, Germany was th.
