Policy-Based Variables: Though one might hope that the size of policy incentives would have no impact on pre-rebate installed costs, it is possible that the positive impact of these incentives on the economics of a solar PV system might dampen the motivation for system installers to aggressively reduce pre-rebate installed costs. Policy variables incorporated in the CEC dataset include the level of the rebate, the existence of a percentage cap, the level of the . . .
