Professor Philip Hanser’s Off-Grid PV research published in Utilities Policy Journal

ISE affiliated faculty member Philip Hanser has published, along with associates in the Brattle Group, an article analyzing the technical and economic feasibility of moving households off the grid through photovoltaic (PV) solar. The article will appear in the Utilities Policy journal.

Given recent technological advances in solar energy and large-scale battery storage, as well as reduced renewable energy prices, going off the grid with solar seems possible now more than ever. However, the report also cautions that being able to fully move off the grid is still prohibitively expensive and burdensome.
