“…Thus, with the 1.3% growth rate of residential retail electricity price from Duke Energy utility in North Carolina, Makhyoun (2012) also says that solar PV systems will be cost competitive with retail electricity price in 2020 in North Carolina. This means that the solar PV system deserves to be invested even if it is not beneficial yet since the levelized cost of solar PV system decreases while the retail electricity price is expected to increase in the future (Cai et al 2013, Makhyoun 2012. Furthermore, Makhyoun (2012) mentions that the levelized cost in 2020 is estimated to be $0.17 per kWh without federal tax credits, which is higher than the one with federal tax credits.…”

“…The policies are mainly related to the monetary benefits in installing solar PV system in houses, and this is meaningful because customers are interested in how much can be saved by adopting solar PV systems (Cai et al, 2013 Net metering is a policy that forces companies to buy from solar or wind owners any excess electricity they may generate. That is, the utility buys any electricity produced that consumers do not need at that instance.…”

“…There has also been relatively little work on studying the impact of financial savings through PV adoption on the utility "death spiral" [5,17]. The "death spiral" refers to the positive feedback effect created when the highest consuming customers adopt PV and thus pay less to utilities.…”

“…This change is not without major challenges -it will require significant upgrades to the grid as it was not engineered with the variability and intermittency of solar energy in mind [20,29]. In addition to engineering hurdles, we need to be mindful of the socioeconomic impacts of large scale adoption which most commonly come in the form of subsidies to high income customers [5,10,14,1]. Under the widely used net metering rate structures, residential customers only pay for the net amount of monthly energy used.…”

AcknowledgementsFirst and foremost, I would like to thank my adviser Prof. Mani Chandy. He took a chance on me even though I was by no means qualified. In addition, there were moments along the way when things looked quite stark and Mani's support was invaluable in me getting through it. For this, I will always be in his debt. He is one of a handful of researchers I have met that manages to conduct research that has both academic merit and yet a large societal impact. Still, the most valuable thing I have learned from Mani is how to be a good person. AbstractThe rapid rise in the residential photo voltaic (PV) adoptions in the past half decade has created a need in the electricity industry for a widely-accessible model that estimates PV adoption based on a combination of different business and policy decisions. This work analyzes historical adoption patterns and finds fiscal savings to be the single most important factor in PV adoption, with significantly greater predictive power compared to all other socioeconomic factors including income and education. We can create an application available on Google App Engine (GAE) based on our findings that allows all stakeholders including policymakers, power system researchers and regulators to study the complex and coupled relationship between PV adoption, utility economics and grid sustainability. The application allows users to experiment with different customer demographics, tier structures and subsidies, hence allowing them to tailor the application to the geographic region they are studying. This study then demonstrates the different type of analyses possible with the application by studying the relative impact of different policies regarding tier structures, fixed charges and PV prices on PV adoption. vi

The Electricity Grid in Indonesia

This chapter will introduce the energy situation in Indonesia as well as the main factors that influence it. Being one of the world's largest archipelagos, Indonesia has a unique and highly distributed power supply system. The population size is the main factor which causes a significant demand for energy. The growing economy of Indonesia brings optimism, including on the subject of renewable energy development. Across Indonesia's area, high levels of solar energy are available the whole year through. However, the present role of the central government in energy development is still very big, which causes inefficiency. This demands a more significant role of local entities, especially governments and the private sector. In our discussions, we mainly refer to statistics from 2017 in combination with older data. An Archipelago with a Unique Power Supply SystemIndonesia is one of the world's largest archipelagos. The country has a total area of 8.3 million km 2 , comprising 77% water surface and 17,504 islands [1]. Around 111 of its outer islands share borders with neighboring countries. As shown in Fig. 1.1, Indonesia stretches over 5,000 km from the East to the West, across South-East Asia and Oceania and two oceans, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Most of the citizens live on five major islands, namely Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. Yet, around 6,000 other islands were inhabited in 2014 [2].
