Does solar energy need subsidy?

A typical solar energy project in Brazil has the following characteristics:

1) Investment of R$ 5 600/installed kW
2) Power production 150 kWh/month/kW installed
3) Amortization,, at a rate of 1% per month, for 10 years, is R$ 80/month
4) Equivalent to approximately R$ 0.5/kWh delivered

The current national average tariff, including taxes, for the residential sector, granted by the regulator (ANEE), is R$ 0.8/kWh.

So, what is your answer to the question that gives title to this post?

1 USD = R$ 5,6
