Using Investments in Solar Photovoltaics as Inflation Hedges

Energies, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18(4), P. 890 - 890

Published: Feb. 13, 2025

Mainstream strategies for protecting wealth from inflation involve diversification into traditional assets like common stocks, gold, fixed-income securities, and real estate. However, a significant contributor to has been the rising energy prices, which have main underlying cause of several past recessions high periods. Investments in distributed generation with solar photovoltaics (PV) present promising opportunity hedge against inflation, considering non-taxed profits PV generation. To investigate that potential, this study quantifies return on investment (ROI), internal rate (IRR), payback period, net cost, levelized cost by running Solar Alone Multi-Objective Advisor (SAMA) simulations grid-connected systems across different regions varying scenarios. The case studies are San Diego, California; Boston, Massachusetts; Santiago, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina. Historical data also imposed Diego assess system potential dynamic inflammatory conditions, while Boston Santiago additionally analyze hybrid PV-battery understand battery impacts under increasing rates. Net metering credits vary location. results showed could be used as an effective any region where started economically provided increasingly attractive returns increased, particularly when taxes were considered. values ROI IRR underscore importance region-specific financial planning need consider evaluating long-term viability systems. Finally, more capital-intensive storage can become profitable inflationary economy.

Purpose This study investigates the impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on primary, manufacturing, and services industries in New Zealand. Design/methodology/approach uses quantitative research design quarterly panel data at industry level. It macroeconomic novel contextual variables capturing social restrictions lockdowns a linear regression model which is estimated using Two Stage Least square Difference-in-Difference approach. Findings The findings reveal stark contrast between primary sectors, while Information, Media, Telecom sector experienced substantial 2.8% GDP gain, driven by increased online activity remote work, Forestry Logging sectors suffered significant losses 5.5%. Furthermore, estimation approach, provides evidence asymmetric essential non-essentials sectors. These disparities highlight role government policies, particularly designating certain as services, shaping pandemic's winners losers.

Are carbon costs transmitting to the building materials industry?

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Oct. 30, 2024

Introduction Reconciling economic development and emission reduction of polluting gases requires balancing long-term short-term goals across various markets. As a new production cost, the price carbon allowances is assumed to affect supply demand carbon-intensive sectors. Therefore, this study examines dynamic spillover effects between China as largest market building materials industry in unified time-frequency framework. Methods This measures overall directional markets three frequency bands, considering eight pilots national four important materials. Results The empirical results show that bi-directional shows pronounced characteristics domain, especially band one day week, with strong connectivity. After launch market, information from become stronger. Both have significant short- impacts on market. In addition, there are differences impact types intensive Discussion Compliance cycles likely induce sharp fluctuations spillovers two industrial stabilizing prices refined policy design considers diversified different industries at frequencies.
