Supporting Photovoltaics in Market-Rate Residential New Construction: A Summary of Programmatic Experience to Date and Lessons Learned
Galen Barbose, Ryan Wiser and Mark Bolinger, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. February 2006.
This CESA – LBNL Case Study summarizes programmatic experience and lessons learned from the state clean energy funds and describes early efforts by state clean energy funds to support the deployment of PV in new, market-rate homes. The report focuses on the activities of clean energy funds in nine states (California, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota) that have funded specific projects and/or have offered targeted programs for PV in market-rate residential new construction. It also includes a review of several other state or local organizations whose efforts are particularly noteworthy or have some direct bearing on the efforts of clean energy funds in the same state – however, the report does not attempt to comprehensively review the activities of entities other than state clean energy funds.
The report concludes with a summary of steps states can take to encourage PV adoption in market-rate, residential new construction and points to a number of basic lessons for how state clean energy funds and other organizations can address these issues and more successfully tap the residential new construction market for PV.
