Decisions at the Grid’s Edge: An Improved Spatial PV Expansion in Swiss Residences University of Basel, Faculty of Business and Economics, Switzerland The rapid expansion of residential photovoltaic (PV) installations is a central pillar of the transition toward a renewable energy production. However, increasing PV penetration is beginning to create congestion in low-voltage distribution grids, risking damage to network components, production losses and constraints on further PV deployment. Using a newly developed spatial expansion model for a Swiss subregion, this paper quantifies the timing and magnitude of grid-related losses in the near future. The results further illustrate how a small adjustment to existing subsidy schemes can delay binding grid constraints by one to two years and reduce congestion-related losses by up to 6.02 percent. While such a subsidy design does not represent a first-best economic solution, it offers a practical and readily implementable approach, addressing the coordination challenges associated with decentralized residential PV adoption. | |
