Residential Solar Photovoltaics

This book examines relatively new, innovative financing methods for residential photovoltaics (PV) and compares them to traditional self-financing methods. It provides policymakers with an overview of residential PV financing mechanisms, describes relative advantages and challenges between the various financing mechanisms, and analyses differences between them where data is available. Because these innovative financing mechanisms have only been implemented in a few locations, this book can help enable their wider adoption.
