Towards grid parity in insular energy systems: The case of photovoltaics (PV) in Cyprus

Fokaides, Paris A.; Kylili, Angeliki - In: Energy Policy 65 (2014) C, pp. 223-228

Grid parity is defined as the threshold at which a grid-connected renewable energy sources (RES) system supplies electricity to the end user at the same price as grid-supplied electricity. Predictions from the 2006 time-frame expected retail grid parity for solar in the 2016 to 2020 era, but due...

Appropriate storage for high-penetration grid-connected photovoltaic plants

Solomon, A.A.; Faiman, D.; Meron, G. - In: Energy Policy 40 (2012) C, pp. 335-344

This paper addresses the dual questions: What is the appropriate storage size and its related properties for matching very large photovoltaic plants to the grid; and what are the available technologies for achieving this end. For this purpose a “Usefulness Index” is defined, which, for any...

An analysis of residential PV system price differences between the United States and Germany

Seel, Joachim; Barbose, Galen L.; Wiser, Ryan H. - In: Energy Policy 69 (2014) C, pp. 216-226

Residential photovoltaic (PV) systems were twice as expensive in the United States as in Germany (median of $5.29/W vs. $2.59/W) in 2012. This price discrepancy stems primarily from differences in non-hardware or “soft” costs between the two countries, which can only in part be explained by...
