  • Abstract
    This paper identifies target market niches for customer-sited photovoltaics (CSPV) in the United States. The intent is to demonstrate markets that are cost-effective today and identify those showing the most near-term promise. Exploitation of niche markets is one strategy that could help speed the commercialization of grid-connected photovoltaics
