Achieving very high PV penetration - The need for an effective electricity remuneration framework and a central role for grid operators

This article also proposes that a value-based electricity compensation mechanism (based on e.g., Value of Solar (VOS) and load shaping tariffs), recognizing the multi-facetted, penetration-dependent value and cost of solar energy, and capable of shaping consumption patterns to optimally match resource and demand, could be an effective vehicle to enable high solar penetration and deliver affordable firm power generation.
