Policy incentives play a crucial role in reducing the cost and enhancing the development of perovskite solar panels. Several initiatives across different regions highlight the significance of these incentives:
- Netherlands Incentive Scheme: The Dutch government has introduced an incentive scheme called “Investeringssubsidie maakindustrie klimaatneutrale economie” (IMKE), which supports the production of innovative solar technologies, including perovskite-silicon tandem modules. The scheme limits funding to €70 million per project for specific applications such as building-integrated and vehicle-integrated photovoltaic panels.
- U.S. Incentives: The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) offers significant policy support, which can affect the production cost of perovskite solar panels. Research suggests that incentives from such acts can make U.S.-made perovskite-silicon tandem solar modules more viable, potentially lowering production costs to around $0.35 per watt. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Energy supports R&D projects focusing on perovskite solar cells to improve their efficiency and longevity.
- Global Research Incentives: International collaborations and programs, such as the European Union’s Horizon Europe and China’s renewable energy grants, have also been instrumental in advancing perovskite solar cell development. These programs facilitate public-private partnerships that streamline research into commercial production, ultimately reducing costs.
- General Solar Incentives: Governments globally offer a range of financial incentives like tax credits, subsidies, grants, and low-interest loans to promote solar energy adoption. These incentives can indirectly support the development and adoption of perovskite solar panels by creating a favorable environment for solar technologies in general.
