The results of cost–benefit analysis reveal that the internal rate of return is larger in case of subsidy than in the case without subsidy. The work highlights the role of subsidies in incentivizing the investment in PV solar systems and yields an internal rate of return (IRR) is substantially smaller for a small plant while larger for a large plant with subsidy.

Armenia is a country with enormous solar energy potential. Energy flow per square meter is about 1,720 kWh compared to the European average of 1,000 kWh. Accordingly, the Armenian government is providing various incentives to promote solar energy self-consumption practices. For example, residential consumers are exempt from regulations if they have an installed capacity of up to 150 kWh. Per amendments made in 2017, the limit for commercial consumers has been …

1. Introduction 1.1. Background. With the intensification of energy shortage and environmental pollution, renewable energy has attracted worldwide attention [1 – 4].The solar photovoltaic (PV) power is abundant, clean, and convenient and also has been considered as one of the most promising renewable energies [5, 6].Due to the ever-increasing energy and …
Therefore, it exists great prospects of development. In addition, the cost of photovoltaic power generation is relatively high, and governmental subsidies are required. In this paper, we propose a spatial econometric model to analyze performance of government subsidies for the photovoltaic industry. When spatial dependence is obvious, classical ...

In the case of photovoltaic solar power plants, the two main climatic factors that influence the performance of the modules are the irradiation level and temperature (Liu et al. 2017, Lee et al. 2017). The higher the level of irradiation, the more electricity is generated by photovoltaic installations (Al Garni et al. 2017, Ayag 2015). Furthermore, the capacity of the modules is …
1. Introduction. Solar energy is considered an essential resource in promoting energy transition and alleviating climate change because it is inexhaustible and non-polluting (Kabir et al., 2018, Kayal and Chanda, 2015).Photovoltaic (PV) power generation, as the main application of solar energy, has gradually been replacing coal-fired power generation in recent …
