Title: Sensitivity of Rooftop PV Projections in the SunShot Vision Study to Market Assumptions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1067918· OSTI ID:1067918

The SunShot Vision Study explored the potential growth of solar markets if solar prices decreased by about 75% from 2010 to 2020. The SolarDS model was used to simulate rooftop PV demand for this study, based on several PV market assumptions--future electricity rates, customer access to financing, and others--in addition to the SunShot PV price projections. This paper finds that modeled PV demandis highly sensitive to several non-price market assumptions, particularly PV financing parameters.
