Learning by Doing: The Evolution of State Support for PV
Mark Bolinger and Ryan Wiser, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. June 2003.
This LBNL report briefly discusses lessons learned from states with clean energy funds regarding their experiences with "buy-down" programs used to offset the high up-front costs of PV systems. These include capital grants and rebates. This report discusses how various states are crafting new programs to promote PV deployment based on their experience.
