GSC Members Survey

Empowering people with solar PV

The survey is directed to GSC members to collect information in order to build a benchmark analysis on the state and evolution of the distributed solar PV market in several countries. The analysis will serve to match main barriers in emerging markets with good practices in mature markets and will be a key part of the final report.

Please indicate whether the data/information provided come from an external source.
For open questions of chapter IV and V, please keep the answer within 1500 characters.

II. Installed solar PV capacity

Indicate your country's total current installed solar PV capacity (MW)

If known, indicate the total installed capacity based on plants size.

under 10kW

between 10 kW and 20 kW

between 20 kW and 200 kW

between 200 kW and 500 kW

between 500 kW and 1000kW

above 1000 kW

If available, indicate the share of rooftop solar PV (including residential, commercial, industrial, public buildings) (MW/%)

If available, indicate the share of residential plants (MW/%)

If available, indicate the share of plants for self-consumption/net metering (MW/%)

If available, indicate the share of plants for total grid input (MW/%)

If available, indicate the capacity of plants participating in energy communities/community power (MW)

If available, indicate the off-grid total installed capacity and divided by sector (residential, industrial/commercial/agriculture, public) (MW)

III. Potential rooftop solar PV capacity

If known, indicate your country's potential capacity for rooftop solar (including all buildings: residential, commercial/industrial/agriculture, public, etc.). Please consider also indicative data or estimates resulting from statistical elaborations, as well as studies regarding specific geographical areas within the country (MW)

If known, indicate the share of residential to total potential rooftop capacity. Please consider also indicative data or estimates resulting from statistical elaborations, as well as studies regarding specific geographical areas within the country (MW/%)

If known, indicate the potential capacity of solar parking lots. Please consider also indicative data or estimates resulting from statistical elaborations, as well as studies regarding specific geographical areas within the country (MW)

List any relevant used national and international source, document or study

If available, indicate your country's target for rooftop solar PV (alternatively, any other targets put forth for solar PV)

IV. Authorization framework

Taking into consideration both complexity and time length, evaluate how difficult the overall permitting procedure to install rooftop solar PV is in your country

Selected Value: 0

0 to 5 with 0 very easy and 5 very difficult

Taking into consideration both complexity and time length, evaluate how difficult the overall connection to the grid procedure for rooftop solar PV is in your country

Selected Value: 0

0 to 5 with 0 very easy and 5 very difficult

Describe the type of meters employed (e.g. electromechanical meter or digital meter) and if possible indicate the digital meter substitution rate in residential and industrial/commercial/agricultural buildings

Describe positive aspects and main barriers (e.g. airport proximity, historical buildings, park area proximity, differentiation based on plants size or on type of consumption) of your country's overall authorization process (copy)

Describe the most complex or long stage of permitting in your country (e.g. authorization of rooftop plant, authorization for grid connection)

Indicate whether there are uniform authorization procedures at national level or they are differentiated at local level

Indicate any policy instruments currently foreseen or recommended to simplify the authorization process in your country

Indicate any policy instruments currently in place or foreseen that would result in a negative impact for rooftop solar PV installations

V. Incentive mechanisms

Describe incentive mechanisms in place for installation of rooftop PV, divided by plants size and product sectors (e.g. tax or bills breaks, incentives for energy storage systems, for energy communities)

Describe incentive mechanisms in place for power production of rooftop PV, divided by plants size and product sectors (e.g. self-consumption incentives, incentives for energy production, incentives for energy communities)

Indicate any incentive mechanisms that have stimulated deployment of installations

Indicate incentives that the government or the industry recommend to further stimulate deployment of installations
