Shaking Up the Residential PV Market: Implications of Recent Changes to the ITC
نویسندگان
چکیده
On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) increased the Section 48 investment tax credit (ITC) for commercial photovoltaic (PV) systems from 10% to 30% of the project’s “tax credit basis” (i.e., the dollar amount to which the ITC applies), and also created in Section 25D of the Internal Revenue Code a new 30% ITC (capped at $2,000) for residential solar systems. Both changes went into effect on January 1, 2006, for an initial period of two years, and in late 2006 both credits were extended “as is” for an additional year (through 2008).

متن کاملHarnessing the Power of the Sun through Online Platforms: Evidence from the Rooop Solar Market
Buyers in the residential solar photovoltaic (PV) market are oen not fully informed about all competitors’ prices when making a purchase decision. Consumers’ lack of complete price information can incentivize sellers to charge higher markups, leading to less adoption. Large markups directly counteract public programs that subsidize solar PV. In this paper, I use proprietary data on consumers’ ...
