Reinforcement learning models solar PV policy design under uncertainty

Researchers have developed a novel approach using reinforcement learning (RL) combined with a stochastic agent-based model (ABM) to design sequential policies for solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption. This method simulates yearly adoption over a 16-year horizon, allowing a policymaker agent to select annual incentives like capital grants and subsidized loan rates. The study demonstrates a clear trade-off between adoption gains and public expenditure, with different RL algorithms like PPO, SAC, and TD3 producing robust patterns. AI
