The Impact of City-level Permitting Processes on Residential Photovoltaic Installation Prices and Development Times: An Empirical Analysis of Solar Systems in California Cities

Technical Report Wiser, Ryan ; Dong, Changgui

Business process or “soft” costs account for well over 50% of the installed price of residential photovoltaic (PV) systems in the United States, so understanding these costs is crucial for identifying PV cost-reduction opportunities. Among these costs are those imposed by city-level permitting processes, which may add both expense and time to the PV development process. Building on previous research, this study evaluates the effect of city-level permitting processes on the installed price of residential PV systems and on the time required to develop and install those systems. The study uses a unique dataset from the U.S. Department of Energy’smore »« less

Non-monotonic effects of market concentration on prices for residential solar photovoltaics in the United States

Journal Article OShaughnessy, Eric J. - Energy Economics

We report that emerging renewable energy markets may become more concentrated over time as the most efficient firms accumulate market share. The effects of this market concentration on prices are tested using a rich dataset of residential solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in the United States. A novel hypothesis is explored that the effects of market concentration may be non-monotonic. Prices may decline in market concentration due to efficiency gains associated with returns to scale but increase in concentration in already concentrated markets due to increasing market power. Finally, the results of an econometric model provide evidence to support the non-monotonicmore »« less

The impact of wind, solar, and other factors on the decline in wholesale power prices in the United States

Journal Article Mills, Andrew ; Wiser, Ryan ; Millstein, Dev ; ... - Applied Energy

Across multiple organized wholesale power markets in the United States, annual average prices declined by 19–64 dollars per MWh between 2008 and 2017 while retirements of thermal power plants accelerated. Several prominent changes over the last decade are often discussed as contributors to this decline in prices. These include growth in wind and solar, a reduction in the price of natural gas, and weakened load growth. Here we construct a fundamental supply curve model for each of seven organized wholesale market regions and use counterfactual simulations to assess the degree to which wind and solar—among other factors—have influenced wholesale electricitymore »« less

State and Local Policy Impacts on the Residential Solar PV Installation Industry

Technical Report OShaughnessy, Eric J.

This study explores the effects of state and local policies on local residential solar PV installation industries. The results show that state and local policies affect the number of installers that compete in local PV markets, the relative sizes of those installers, and the market shares of high-volume national-scale installers. Understanding these effects could improve PV policy analysis and yield insights into how to achieve multiple PV policy objectives.
