Determinants of distributed PV systems in Brazil
(2020) EKHS22 20201Department of Economic History
- Abstract
- In this thesis determinants of distributed PV uptake in Brazil are estimated over a period from 2012 to 2019. To provide a deeper inside into the distributed PV market, a municipality-based panel regression is used to estimate determinants of PV consumer units and installed potential. The results indicate that most PV systems are located in the South and Southeast of the country, where PV potential is lowest. This suboptimal distribution can be accounted to regional inequality, electric tariff distortions, and a revision of the legal foundation of distributed generation in 2016.
