. . .  lower curve assumes that of this upper bound market, about 1% of the population will purchase PV. The result is a market of about 30 MW of residential rooftop PV systems at prices between $2,500-$4,000/kW. Again, these are very gross estimates, but they illustrate the rather large potential for customerowned PV systems depending on PV system price and electricity rates. Ultimately, it is very difficult to speculate as to how many consumers would actually make a financial investment in PV, since economics is not the sole criterion by which people make purchase decisions. For example, customers would be far more willing to engage in a PV purchase if the District were somehow involved. Market research, such as focus groups and surveys, are required to better understand the customer-owned PV market. In any case, it is likely that as PV system prices approach $2,000/kW they will be deployed in much larger quantities by independent power developers and energy service companies. 6-3 Rancho Cordova . . .
