The paper uses diffusion models to understand the main determinants of\ndiffusion of solar photovoltaic panels (SPP) worldwide, focusing on the role of\npublic incentives. We applied the generalized Bass model (GBM) to adoption data\nof 26 countries between 1992-2016. The SPP market appears as a frail and\ncomplicate one, lacking public media support. Even the major shocks in adoption\ncurves, following state incentive implemented after 2006, failed to go beyond\nshort-term effects and therefore were unable to provide sustained momentum to\nthe market. This suggests that further barriers to adoption should be removed.\n
