On a graph not showing the solar feed-in tariff but showing the solar module price index?... In addition, to repeat this to you yet again, there is not much perspective to be given by comparing feed-in tariffs for different technologies. All aim to give new technologies the chance to bring down prices by technological development and the realisation economies of scale on a stable sub-market. And you can cry insane all you want, but show me another technology that brought down prices 58% in five and a half years, with feed-in laws or without.
In the meantime, I prepared a first graph showing a comparison that may make sense, one between the feed-in rate and the module price index, this time showing the Y axis starting at zero:
However, I think a log graph makes more sense than one with the Y axis starting at zero:

This one is without taxes. The relevant tax is VAT, which is 19% since January 2007, and was 16% before.
Regarding intra-year solar output and a breakup of EEG costs, I'll look for those later today. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
