Financing barriers represent a notable obstacle for energy improvements and this is particularly the case for low-income households. Limited access to credit, due to socio-economic status and the lack of guarantees, are key issues related to financing barriers. Implementing a policy such as PACE – Property Assessed Clean Energy – allows for the provision of up-front funds for residential property owners to install electric and thermal solar systems and make energy-efficiency improvements to their buildings. This paper will inform the design of better policies tailored to the creation of the appropriate conditions for such investments to occur, especially when the lack of access to capital tends to stall them. 000121912 546__ $$aEnglish 000121912 650__ $$aResource/Energy Economics and Policy 000121912 6531_ $$aFinancing Barriers 000121912 6531_ $$aEnergy Efficiency 000121912 6531_ $$aSolar PV 000121912 6531_ $$aEnergy Investments 000121912 700__ $$aAmeli, Nadia 000121912 700__ $$aKammen, Daniel M. 000121912 8564_ $$9f2696471-76a6-4756-a88f-3e732135c9bd$$s220627$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/121912/files/NDL2012-010.pdf 000121912 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/121912 000121912 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:121912$$pGLOBAL_SET 000121912 912__ $$nSubmitted by Nancy Elera (nancy.elera@feem.it) on 2012-03-26T14:25:36Z No. of bitstreams: 1 NDL2012-010.pdf: 220627 bytes, checksum: 53af3ec91b550bd30a98d6e934441237 (MD5) 000121912 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2012-03-26T14:25:38Z (GMT).
