The impact of state policy on deployment and cost of solar photovoltaic technology in the U.S.: A sector-specific empirical analysis
Shrimali, Gireesh; Jenner, Steffen - In: Renewable Energy 60 (2013) C, pp. 679-690
Using a panel database for 27 programs in 16 U.S. states over 1998–2009, we assess the impact of 12 state-level policies on the cost and deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) technologies for two sectors defined by system sizes: residential (10 kW) and commercial (10−100 kW). We first...
