Is there any sign of this ever actually happening here or is too much to hope for.

Hopefully won't be the stupid version as in the UK where you only get this via an installer and not if you buy the stuff yourself.

But since the idiots in charge never think for themselves and just copy the UK I am willing to bet it will be exactly that.

I think you're very optimistic thinking they'll actually do anything

Hopefully some factories will open up around here instead of us relying on Xi Jinping for panels
