‘Let’s tax the sun’: new Spanish law shocks world press

“A new tax on solar power introduced two weeks ago by the Spanish government has been described as ‘ludicrous’ and ‘stupid’ in two leading international publications.  Business Spectator interviewed people who plan to ignore the new law, including Sergio Pomar, chief executive of energy-efficient installation firm INEL.  He said: ‘If I spend €600 to install solar panels and get fined €6 million let the judge decide.’  Private individuals who fail to hook their solar panels up to the national grid to be metered and taxed could face fines of up to €30 million ($40 million) under the new law.  Some homeowners have removed their solar panels rather than face fines of up to €30 million.”
