1.5Key PV support schemes (e.g. subsidy programme)• General characteristics of support scheme• Contents and conditions of support scheme





1.6 PV monitoring systems• National approach to PV market monitoring• National approach to performance measurement of

PV policy framework




Conclusions from country analysis (analytical information)

2.1 General assessment of performance

2.2 Key strengths of national PV policy framework

2.3 Key weaknesses of national PV policy framework

2.4 Lessons learned from the past

2.5 Outlook for the future





=> NCPs: please validate collected information & add missing information for your country!

2. Conclusions from country analysis (analytical information)

=> NCPs: please add further conclusions, since this is the basis for Benchmark & Best Practice analysis!!

=> Chapter status: nearly completed, final validation & input by national partners / experts (NCPs) required until 15/10!


Chapter C: Benchmark Analysis (1)

Objective: to measure the performance of national PV policy frameworks (+ single instruments)

PV support schemes

PV monitoring systems

Methodology: to measure and compare performance of 10+ heterogeneous national policy frameworks (+

single instruments)

1. Define Assessment

Areas

2. Define Performance

Criteria

3. Measure performance

(for each country & criterion)

4. Identify benchmarks

(No 1, for each criterion)

5. Analyse gaps to

benchmark (for each country)

e.g. PV support schemes(investment subsidies

& soft loans)

e.g. Programme efficiency: organisation/

management according to opinions of market actors

e.g. Germany (HTDP

Programme): „Stop&Go“

programme management in 2001, 2002

e.g. Spain (Línea ICO-IDAE):

„good“programme management

e.g. Spain vs. Germany



=> Criteria to measure overall effectiveness of national PV policies

Assessment areas(1) PV Market Development

(2) PV Industry Development

(3) PV Price Reduction *

(4) PV Image / Acceptance
