What do countries do to promote the use of photovoltaic electricity? Why?
A report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) describes the situation in selected OECD countries. The annual International survey report Trends in photovoltaic applications in selected IEA countries prepared by the cooperative programme on photovoltaics (IEAPVPS, Task 1), provides statistical data about industry trends starting in 1992, describes national policies and current achievements in the field. Also the IEAPVPS programme annual report describing the annual achievements, is well documented with photographs, and tells the involvement of countries in the promotion of photovoltaics.
