Solar photovoltaics (PV) will play an important role in decarbonising the energy system. To
date, most assessments of PV transition pathways focus on least-cost aspects, without …

The Covenant of Mayors is a European movement involving local authorities voluntarily
committing to meet and exceed the European Union's 20% CO2 reduction objective for 2020 …

Electricity generation with photovoltaic (PV) solar energy technology requires significant
amounts of space; a particular point of discussion in a densely populated country like the …

A high rate of integration of distributed photovoltaic systems (PV) may cause problems in the
distribution grid. We propose a methodology to spatially and temporally analyze the …

Summary The SWEET EDGE Renewable Energy Outlook investigates the Swiss electricity
supply in 2035, especially with a focus on new renewable electricity targets and their …

In this study, a model is developed to estimate the cost-optimal large-scale economic
potential of shared rooftop PV systems based on neighbourhood energy communities (ECs) …

Currently, most PV (photovoltaic) modules are aligned in a way that maximizes annual
yields. With an increasing number of PV installations, this leads to significant power peaks …

Solar photovoltics (PV) capacity, encompassing both expansive utility-scale installations and
compact distributed systems, constitutes a significant proportion of the anticipated …

In Germany the introduction of a feed-in tariff for renewable energies in the year 2000 led to
a massive increase in newly constructed photovoltaic (PV) plants reaching a total installed …

In this paper we analyse optimal sizing of grid connected rooftop photovoltaic systems from
a household's perspective. We estimate the profit maximizing size for more than 800 …
