Supporting Photovoltaics in Market-Rate Residential New Construction: A Summary of Programmatic Experience to Date and Lessons Learned
The market for solar photovoltaics (PV) in residential new construction is a promising one, and state policymakers are increasingly targeting this market segment. Most recently, California has proposed a 10-year, $350 million program aimed specifically at stimulating the growth of PV in new residential construction. If adopted, this program would become the world’s largest single effort to stimulate PV in new homes.
This study summarizes the efforts of state clean energy funds (and a select number of other state or local organizations) to support PV in market-rate residential new construction. Drawing on these experiences, we identify policy issues and lessons learned that provide guidance to new initiatives that target this particular market segment.
