Government incentives for renewables in several countries, such as Europe, U.S.A. and Canada, will help increase the demand for these technologies. However, the market for residential applications, such as residential rooftop grid-tied solar photovoltaics (PV), cannot grow at the required rates without the appropriate accessibility to financing.
