> Pakistan comes to mind,

Interesting story - in pakistan, PV is an arbitrage/loophole.

Pakistan exporters are under capital controls, so they get a very bad exchange rate when they convert to ruppee. Instead, they buy panels (getting 100% worth of their dollars), which they ship into pakistan, and sell.

On the other side of the trade, home owners get a very generous feed in tarrif, due to pressure by wealthier constituents. This hits the local utility thrice (lost revenue, paying the feed in, AND massive duck curve)

Sigh. Humans will human...

(PV is still great and we need more of it)
