Government incentives and subsidies for solar energy adoption
Most governments around the world recognize the strategic and environmental importance of replacing fossil fuels with renewable sources like solar and wind over the long run. However, setting up large scale solar projects is expensive due to high installation and initial equipment costs. To incentivize greater adoption of solar among building owners as well as overcome the high upfront costs, many administrations offer vital subsidies and tax incentives. These measures have played a key role in boosting the solar photovoltaic market globally in past decade.
When it comes to building integrated photovoltaics systems, governments provide attractive subsidy schemes to encourage higher utilization of this innovative technology. Newly constructed buildings which opt for BIPV solutions as an integral part of their design may qualify for additional subsidies over roof top solar panels. This helps reduce the price difference between normal construction and installing BIPV systems for builders. Many nations also allow accelerated depreciation on BIPV systems to lower the tax burden and returns on investment further. Some local authorities have instituted renewable purchase mandates which make it mandatory for new large buildings to source a certain percentage of power needs from on-site BIPV or pay penalties.
The governments remain committed to these subsidy programs as BIPV complements their long-term energy security and environmental protection plans. As the awareness rises around benefits of seamlessly integrating solar panels in buildings, many nations are expected to form favorable policy frameworks to support greater adoption of this clean energy technology.
