Solar photovoltaics: oligopsony, non-market decision-making and the paradoxical persistence of unprofitability
Srinivasan, Sunderasan - In: International Journal of Green Economics 7 (2013) 2, pp. 116-147
Record volumes of solar PV power plant installations have been achieved on the back of feed-in-tariffs and fiscal incentives. On the supply side, however, equipment manufacturers have been filing for bankruptcy protection in quick succession. This paper is an attempt to unravel the mystery...
