Comparison of Bureaucratic Barriers for Successful PV Deployment in Europe

Experiences with regard to deployment of solar photovoltaics (PV) in European Union Member States show that feed-in tariffs are the most successful support scheme for PV market introduction. However, implementing feed-in tariffs alone does not guarantee the creation of PV markets. Successful PV markets depend on the right framework conditions. This paper intends to identify main barriers in European countries and show possible solutions to overcome those barriers.
