| Summary: | The synergies between rooftop solar PV
(RPV) and energy efficiency (EE) investments in the built
environment include lower specific transaction costs,
optimized RPV systems, shorter project payback periods
(compared to RPV-only projects), and, for EE, enhanced
project visibility. These synergies improve the likelihood
of project implementation, which in turn helps to reduce
peak demand, increase environmental benefits, improve energy
security, and lower energy bills. Because the methods of
financing and implementing RPV and EE in the built
environment are often similar, it is wise to consider
including an EE component when investing in an RPV project,
and vice versa. |
