Using data from all applications to the capital subsidy program for PV in Sweden between 2009 and 2021, we analyse the impact of the subsidy level on investments over time. Our analysis shows that the subsidy has had a positively significant impact for households and private companies as investor groups.
Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology and PV advisory firm Becquerel Sweden AB have investigated the impact of direct subsidies on the deployment of solar in Sweden. They have urged policymakers to adapt future programs to different investor characteristics.
Subsidy levels had a notable impact on households and companies. Corporate investment links significantly to interest rates. Over the past decade, different economic incentives have been created to increase investments in solar photovoltaics (PV).
During the recent surge in solar PV installations, the Nordic countries – Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark – have increasingly embraced solar PV technology, defying their northern geographical challenges.
The strategy is a part of the Danish ambition to launch its initiatives on green power and heating from sustainable sources as relevant actors in the solar panel market has requested the
