Role of the Government in the Development of Solar Energy
The economic rationale for a federal solar energy subsidy program, the type of program required, and methods for determining the proper funding level for each program are discussed. An introduction offers a brief description of solar technologies. A summary of the current federal solar subsidy program is also provided. Nonsubsidy programs, such as the promulgation of federal standards for solar manufacturers, are not discussed.
