Economics Question...PLEASE HELP ME?

My guess is that it will depend on how the advertising and charging is done. If the supplier gets the rebate they can advertise (and charge) the effective price and this will increase consumer demand (since the apparent market price is lower). On the other hand, if the consumer gets the rebate the situation appears less attractive to the consumer (The price advertised and actually charged is the market price, and the rebate lags the transaction (probably by several weeks/months), so to the consumer the price appears higher, reducing demand).

The effect on supply will be the opposite, with slightly more incentive for greater production if the rebate accrues to the installers (since this increases demand). The major impact on supply though is that with increased demand supply should increase, particularly because, from the manufacturer's perspective unit price has not been reduced.

It is possible and even likely that the installer will keep the rebate and thus the price of the solar panels to the consumer will remain the same. There would therefore due to this factor be no influence on the demand.

If thew rebate is given to the consumer then the price of the solar panel installation would be lowered thus causing an increase in demand./

ok the "law of supply and demand" states:
the more the demand, the higher the prices. The less demand, the lower prices,
That being said, it would be more expensive if 1. is applied
It would be less expensive if the consumers got the rebate.
hope i helped.

Is it in demand to be an Solar Panels installer at Canada?

We Answered:

Solar panels have a long way to come before being installed at nearly every location...

But the good news is that improvements are being made daily. It is probably a good job to get into.
Business will increase before it decreases.
