Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology is indispensable for realizing a global low-carbon energy system and, eventually, carbon neutrality. Benefiting from the technological developments in the PV industry, the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV energy has been reduced by 85% over the past decade [1] .
During the past few decades, solar photovoltaic systems (PVs) have become increasingly popular as an alternative energy source. PVs generate electricity from sunlight, but their production has required governmental support through market interventions due to their lack of competitiveness on the energy market.
In this regard, governments may employ politically motivated interventions to support the adoption of PV systems and foster markets that favor this technology. Nonetheless, it is important to note that such initiatives may temporarily disrupt the functioning of a natural market. 3. Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
