Solar Resource and Photovoltaic Electricity Potential in Eu-mena Region
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study offers updated and more accurate information about long-term annual solar resource in the most countries of Europe, Middle East and North Africa (EU-MENA) and evaluates PV power production potential. The underlying solar radiation and PV electricity output values are calculated form the solar and meteo database SolarGIS, which covers a history of recent 18 years. Direct Normal Irradiation data are presented to indicate potential of Concentrated PV in the region. PV electricity output is calculated for c-Si module options, using the recent numerical models. The analysis is focused on the urbanized and industrial areas and their hinterland. Attention is focused also to the quantification of uncertainty. Based on the GIS analysis, the solar resource potential of each country is rated.
