This paper develops a framework for a financial, economic, and stakeholder analysis of a residential rooftop solar net-metering program. The empirical focus of the paper is the net-metering program in Ontario, Canada, but the methodology is applicable to evaluating other public programs. The...

The manufacturing process of renewable energy components involves some conventional energy at different steps. It is then clear that the fabrication of the components of a renewable energy system will emit an amount of greenhouse gas(GHG). The work carried out in this paper is based on...

High daytime electricity demand from space cooling synergetic with predictable and reliable solar insolation creates a unique opportunity to exploit solar PV-enabled decarbonization solutions in Qatar. This paper examines the economic viability of combining utility-scale PV with ice thermal and...

This case study is based on actual project and consultancy work, balancing real life experience with a review and analysis of empirical and theoretical literature. Tidal stream energy (TSE) is still a nascent technology, but with much better predictability than the classical alternatives of sun...
