Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:166988
After summarizing the technical and economic prospects for solar energy technologies, the paper outlines a two-part program that would help to commercialize solar energy use in developing countries. The first part of the program is to establish a pipeline of investments drawing on financial resources that are already available for well-prepared investments--the multinational development banks, commercial banks, the Global Environment Facility, and direct investment by electric utilities, private investors, and others. The second part concerns the need to expand public research and development at the national and international levels in support of private initiative.
