Abstract
As part of the Solutions Center's Clean Energy Policy Brief Series that describes key policy design elements across renewable energy technologies, this paper presents approaches and considerations specific to solar deployment. Drawing from international experience and lessons, the paper focuses on solar-specific good practices for renewable electricity standards (RES), feed-in tariffs (FIT), auctions and tendering processes, interconnection and net metering, financial incentives, and further approaches to enable private finance. Ultimately, governments can design a suite of complementary policies that aligns most appropriately with unique national circumstances and goals.
