Institutional framework and financial instruments for PV deployment in developing countries

Whilst market forces and government programmes have both played a part in promoting PV uptake to date, widespread opinion across a broad range of actors recognises a clear need to strengthen the institutional framework. The focus of this effort should be on developing appropriate market rules and incentives which can underpin long-term self-sustaining markets. This Recommended Practice Guide (RPG) aims to define the key components and mechanisms of just such a framework.
