ABSTRACT

The solar energy deployment requires cooperation by and among diverse constituents, changes in the national policies, market adoption, and the technologies appropriate for a transformation facilitated towards energy independence. While technological and financial assessments are important, the governing policies and the deployment process play a larger role, as they influence and accelerate penetration and the deployment rate of solar technology. This study introduces a multi-level and interrelated strategic roadmap which provides a perceptual model for the solar deployment. The objective is to enable policymakers to gain insights to the long-term effects of policy elements and realize long-term policy visions. It is intended to provide a holistic approach by connecting the vision with short and long-term goals and assesses different aspects of the time-changing solar technology deployment. Developing a strategic roadmap for policymakers is a novel approach. This study validates the strategic roadmap framework through elicitation of experts. The key finding suggests that six aspects, namely motivation; energy scenario; market and policy assessment; technology and product assessment; dependencies; and barriers are required for a strategic roadmap of policy recommendation.
