State Strategies to Foster Solar Hot Water System Deployment

Mark Sinclair, Clean Energy States Alliance, December 2007.

This CESA State Program Guide describes a number of straightforward strategies that states can implement to support adoption of solar hot water (SHW) technologies, including provision of financial incentives, training for installers, and education to help customers make informed decisions. It also provides recommendations for the development of effective solar hot water (SHW) incentive programs and addresses SHW’s potential, obstacles to the realization of this potential, and mechanisms by which states can overcome these obstacles.

It also provides an excellent reading list for general SHW information and reports concerning the SHW programs in Oregon and California.
