Macroeconomic and sector implications of installing 2. 2 million residential solar units

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6274247
Accelerated residential use of solar energy through 1985 will affect the economy. Direct impacts result from the design, manufacture and installation of the solar units and from the energy savings brought about by those units. These direct impacts are accompanied by indirect macroeconomic and interindustry effects generated by the solar installation program. The Office of Conservation and Solar Applications has requested an analysis of the macroeconomic and sector output and employment implications of a residential solar installation program of 2.2 million solar units cumulatively installed through 1985. This Analysis Memorandum presents the results of that analysis.
