| Abstract |
A lot of effort is being placed on bridging the gap and allowing the financially challenged sector of the population to reap the benefits of solar. However, the biggest hurdle for local and state governments is the impact that these programs may have on their treasuries. So what can regulators and decision makers do, to fund these programs efficiently. The merging of Community Based Solar initiatives in combination with enhanced revolving funds accompanied by a change in the utility business model, can generate sustainable growth and allow everyone to enjoy cleaner forms of electricity generation. The key is to strike a balance among all these strategies so that the subscribers will be able to access the service. |
