The complete array of institutional problems expected to energy when solar technology are implemented on a national scale is assembled. The findings of the study are presented in two formats. First, the results are organized by the time frames of delays in solar implementation caused by the inherent difficulties a national energy policy would encounter in changing the way a given institution responds to specific solar technologies. Delay categories of 10 years or more, 6 to 8 years, and 3 to 5 years were selected; all were assigned under the assumption that a strong national policy promoting adoption of solar technologies would be in effect. The second format constitutes a description of the difficulties at the community level, associated with implementing each solar technology. (MHR).

This summary report is part of the Technology Assessments of Solar Energy Systems (TASE) project supported by the US Department of Energy, Technology Assessments Division/Office of Technology Impacts, Assistant Secretary for Environment. The objective of the TASE project is to provide policymakers an analysis of the potential health, environmental, and social/economic consequences of large-scale (national in scope) commercialization of solar technologies. A summary of three studies concentrating on the potential community-level impacts of such commercialization is given. The results of these studies provide enrichment of the national-level TASE project by identifying for policymakers specific community-level issues that may arise as a result of federal policy. The three studies are: (1) community-level environmental impacts of decentralized solar technologies; (2) community impediments to implementation of solar energy; and (3) three solar urban futures: characterizations of a future community under three energy supply scenarios.
