Yup, sorry, I believe in big government.

I think paying taxes allows the government to be able to afford to do the things it is responsible for (health, security, prosperity, equality).

If an infrastructure project is only possible with government support (in this case subsidies), then let the government make it happen and let the population benefit from it. For example the Apollo program.

If a solar farm is not possible to do in the free market without subsidies, then DON'T DO IT until the market is right. (Anyway, what was the author's plan if he got deep into the project and instead of having a disappointment from connection fees, the new president cuts the subsides he needed? Subsidies are political and temporary, you cannot build a sustainable business on them.)

Pay your taxes, and contribute to building society. It's as simple as that.
