Exploring the impact of permitting and local regulatory processes on residential solar prices in the United States

Burkhardt, Jesse; Wiser, Ryan; Darghouth, Naïm; Dong, C.G. - In: Energy Policy 78 (2015) C, pp. 102-112

residential PV prices in the United States. We combine data from two “scoring” mechanisms that independently capture local … regulatory process efficiency with the largest dataset of installed PV prices in the United States. We find that variations in … local permitting procedures can lead to differences in average residential PV prices of approximately $0.18/W between the …
