Abstract

The deployment of decentralized productions units (DPU) like rooftop solar panels is a major challenge for a transition towards greener energy sources. Under a net metering system where the meter runs backward when there is excessive PV production, the electricity produced by a solar panel is valued at the retail price. Higher retail prices thus encourage the deployment of DPU. To identify this relationship, we use data from Wallonia where tariffs are paid on a mostly volumetric base and where there are 13 different tariff zones. Using various specifications, our results suggest that in a municipality where the distribution tariff is one eurocent per kWh higher, the investment in solar PV is, all else equal, around 8% higher.

光伏发电的采用：净计量下配电电价的作用

屋顶太阳能电池板等分散式生产装置（DPU）的部署是向绿色能源过渡的一大挑战。在净计量系统下，当光伏发电量过多时，电表会向后运行，太阳能电池板生产的电力按零售价计价。因此，较高的零售价格会鼓励部署 DPU。为了确定这种关系，我们使用了瓦隆的数据，瓦隆的电价主要以体积为基础，并且有 13 个不同的电价区。通过使用不同的规格，我们的结果表明，在配电电价每千瓦时高一欧分的城市，在其他条件相同的情况下，太阳能光伏发电的投资会增加约 8%。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
