An Economic Analysis of Solar Photovoltaic Installations in Ireland
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper conducted an economic analysis of the viability of five solar photovoltaic installations in County Tipperary, Ireland. Economic barriers along with policy recommendations are also discussed in detail in order to incentivise solar photovoltaics installations in Ireland. Using costings, solar photovoltaic energy output data and solar radiation data it is also investigated how Irish financial aids compare with European scenarios. It was concluded that the installations are economically feasible, however there is a need for widespread financial aids to be introduced in Ireland to ensure solar photovoltaic are economically viable, in line with European financial scenarios for solar photovoltaics.

متن کاملA Feasibility Assessment of Photovoltaic Power Systems in Ireland; a Case Study for the Dublin Region
Photovoltaic (PV) power generation is one of the cleanest sources for producing renewable energy; however uptake on the Irish renewable energy market to date has been low. There is a lack of support for solar PV systems in Ireland; there is currently no solar PV energy feed-in-tariff as there are for other renewable energy systems in Ireland. Despite the current lack of support, the Government ...

متن کاملUsing Solar Spatial Analyst to Calculate Global Solar Radiation, 22th Region of Tehran as the Case Study
Solar Radiation is considered as an important parameter in modeling environmental, hydrologic and biophysical processes. One of the reasons that solar radiations are not extensively used in models is the problem of its measurement in different points. Solar Analyst Viewshed Algorithm makes possible calculation of the topographic effects on solar radiation at local and landscape scales. With res...
