Photovoltaic Potential Assessment to Support Renewable Energies Growth in 10 EU Candidate Countries
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a GIS database of solar radiation and photovoltaic (PV) potential estimations of 10 European Union Candidate Countries created to support. The database was integrated with a web application to provide access also for a broad public. An application was developed to browse and query GIS maps and to do a simple calculation for any location in the region. The established web site provides access also to analyses and relevant documents (http://iamest.jrc.it/pvgis/pv/index.htm).

of FITs, Q-cells became one of the fastest-growing companies in Europe, and is now the second largest manufacturer of photovoltaic cells in the world, surpassed only by the Japanese electronics giant Sharp. And this growth continues unabated. For the first quarter of 2007, Q-cells reported a 43 per cent year-on-year increase in sales, and a 45 per cent increase in production. The output stands ...
متن کامل[Article] Scalable methodology for the photovoltaic solar energy potential assessment based on available roof surface area: application to Piedmont Region (Italy)
During the last few years the photovoltaic energy market has seen an outstanding growth. According to the new Directive on renewable energies of the European Commission (2009/28/EC), the European Union should reach a 20% share of the total energy consumption from renewable sources by 2020. The national overall targets impose for Italy a 17% renewable share: in case of failure the gap would be f...
متن کاملDoes Renewable Energy Drive Sustainable Economic Growth? Multivariate Panel Data Evidence for EU-28 Countries
Energy is crucial to economic progress, but the contemporary worldwide population increase that demands greater energy generated from conventional exhaustible resources, an energy price upsurge, and environmental concerns, imperils sustainable economic growth. Nevertheless, switching to renewable energy produced from naturally replenished resources promotes energy security, likewise addressing ...

This paper studies the non linear relationship between energy prices, natural resources rent opportunities and renewable energy consumption under different economic growth rates for OPEC member countries during the 2005-2016 period. Using a panel smooth transition regression (PSTR) model, our findings prove a non-linear relationship between renewable energy consumption and the rate of economi...
متن کاملAssessing the Effects of Green Tax Policy on CO2 Emission with Emphasis on Renewable Energy Development (Case study of D8 Countries)
In recent years, fossil energy consumption has increased because of economic growth and this has led to carbon dioxide emissions and environmental crises. Governments struggle to solve this problem by appropriate policies such as green or environmental tax policies. This policy is based on costs and can control pollution and increase renewable energy consumption as a substitute for fossil ener...
