Over the past decade, solar photovoltaic (PV) electricity has grown rapidly to become a significant player in energy supply and a truly global industry. It is characterised by rapid innovation and increasing cost-competitiveness. As such, it is uniquely positioned to help achieve the EU's energy...
This report analyses the wind energy market with a special emphasis on technologies, the industry in Europe and its performance relative to the biggest competitors worldwide. Wherever possible, data coverage at least to the end of 2018....
Photovoltaics is a solar-power technology for generating electricity using semiconductor devices known as solar cells. A number of solar cells form a solar ‘module’ or ‘panel’, which can then be combined to form solar power systems, ranging from a few watts of electricity output to multi-megawat...
Renewable energy technologies bring the promise of a decentralized model, with power produced at or near the point of consumption, allowing for the production plant to be near or in the city. The combined effect of distributed generation and community-owned power models, together with new requir...
