Subject: The magnitude of rooftop solar subsidies and why it matters
The magnitude of rooftop solar subsidies and why it matters?
November 2017 Ronald M. Barone and Benjamin Zycher
Key points
Rooftop solar power is substantially more costly than either conventional electricity or utility-scale solar power.
The various subsidies and other favoritism bestowed on rooftop solar power create an investment bias in its favor of about 20 percent of the costs of rooftop systems.
That bias subsidizes the wealthy and upper middle class at the expense of those in lower income classes.
