From Sun to Roof to Grid: The Economics and Policy of Distributed Photovoltaicsexplores the benefits, challenges, and risks of DPV, with special attention to theeconomics of its deployment and its uses for utilities. The challenges addressedinclude inadequate electricity supply, energy access for low-income groups, naturaldisasters, decarbonizing the grid, and supply diversification. The report also offersa new paradigm to design policy packages for systems with more decentralizedgeneration. In the new paradigm, DPV facilities can be better promoted by aligningthe incentives of various stakeholders and distributing costs and benefits in a fairand efficient manner.
