Configure
The purpose of this study is to propose and estimate a structural model of solar panel demand and supply that accounts for endogenous entry of solar installers. Using micro data on solar installations, the author will then quantify the effect of subsidies on solar adoption.
Grant Result
Since 2005, the solar industry has benefited from the federal Investment Tax Credit. This year marks the first cuts. What impacts will this have on solar adoption?
