The German Bundesrat is unlikely to pass cuts to solar incentives when they come up for a vote on Friday (June 4), so a mediation committee of the upper house of parliament would be required to resolve the matter, according to unnamed sources cited in a news report by Reuters.

The same sources said that if the parliamentary committee is called, the proposed cuts―including the controversial 16% reduction in feed-in tariffs for new rooftop PV installations--would not be able to take effect on July 1 as planned.
