- Inequitable photovoltaic (PV) adoption exacerbates the energy burden on non-adopting households, and intervention in the PV deployment process is currently the dominant concept to address this dilemma. Providing financial support to low-income households to scale up PV is ineffective in the long term, and curbing PV scale by reducing the value that existing adopters can derive from PV has also been shown to exacerbate this inequitable situation. In this paper, we attempt to decrease inequity by eliminating the consequences of inequitable PV adoption by not interfering with PV scale. First, we clarify that inequitable PV adoption leads to the creation of price inequity: PV leads to a reduction in the wholesale price of electricity, but the electricity retailer does not pass on the price reduction to households, which is a new energy justice issue. We then propose two solutions that favor the electricity retailer. Finally, we analyze the causal factors of long-term price inequity and responses to it. Our study shows that in the early stages of PV deployment, the retailer increases the retail price to cope with the impact of PV on the electricity market. Eliminating the time-of-day tariff strategy for households with PV and subsidizing retailers can serve to decrease price inequity. In addition, we find that excessive adjustments in decision-making by the boundedly rational power plant and retailer can lead to electricity market destabilization and exacerbate the difficulty of decreasing long term inequality, and that decreasing their focus on the direction of profitability can help to eliminate long term inequality.
