Barriers to commercial solar power systems: CSP National Internship Report

Huang, Feiran (2014) Barriers to commercial solar power systems: CSP National Internship Report. Internship Report, Murdoch University.

Abstract

In the recent years, because of the growing economy and increasing population, the demand for electricity has increased substantially. Renewable technology as a green (sustainable) solution of this dramatic increase has therefore attracted more attentions.

Through the process of designing and installing a commercial solar power system, several market barriers have been discovered, which include:

State government barriers;
Local government barriers;
Western Power (network distributor) barriers;
Energy retailer barriers;
Customer barriers.

This dissertation included the experience of installing a commercial solar PV system, and discusses the barriers identified. To overcome those barriers, more efforts would need to be made at all levels.
