Title: Solar Incentives Planning and Development: A State-of-the-Art Review and Research Agenda

Abstract

A research agenda designed to assist the Department of Energy in the planning and development of solar energy incentives was developed. A four-element framework for assessing solar incentive policies is presented. In the context of this framework, the available solar research relevant to incentives for solar energy is reviewed. Comparing the requirements identified in the framework and the contents of completed research, major gaps in the literature on solar incentives are identified. An agenda for research is then proposed to eliminate these gaps and to provide information for constructing effective solar energy incentives.
