Responsible energy policy for thefuture

Renewable energy sources with an efficient and rational use of energy are capable of:

• preserving resources,

• ensuring security and diversity of energy supply,

• providing energy services, virtually without anyenvironmental impact.

RES are well distributed and decentralised.


Why Photovoltaics?

• Direct conversion of sunlight to electricity

• No pollution

• No noise

• Wide range of applications (off- and on grid, BIPV)

• Modularity

• Helpful in disasters

Cost of Energy

(EURO cent/kWh)• Fossil fuels– coal 5 - 9 – gas 3 – 5

– Nuclear 4 - 9

• Renewable energy– wind 4 - 12– water 2 - 8– biomass 5 – 9– solar thermal 12 - 18– Solar electricity (PV) 25 - 65


SOLAR ELECTRICITY

• PV is positioned to meet the critical energy-sector demands world-wide in the coming decades.

• The cost of photovoltaic (PV) electricity:

– too high for bulk power production in utility grids

– cost-effective for peak power applications and local grid support

• Important natural market in the world-wide off-grid applications

Value of PV kWhs

• PV solar electricity systems provide– decentralized kWhs at point of use– good integration in future Smart Electricity Networks– excellent correlation with high prices at peak hours in

summer and afternoons

• Value of PV kWhs is not correlated with– avoided fuel costs for power stations– cost and price of bulk power electricity

• … but well correlated with – peak hour prices in liberalized markets (higher cost for

peak electricity results in higher prices)– today 20 … 30 €ct/kWh– future 25 … 40 €ct/kWh

Market introduction

Renewable Energy Law (EEG) since April 2000 (revised Jan. 2004 and June 2008)

• tells how to deal with electricity from Renewables fe d into the grid

• Reimbursement - Photovoltaic 0,54 – 0,62 EUR/kWh over 2 0 years

• Reimbursement will be lowered for new systems by 5% (8-9%) annually from 2009
