  • a review on global Solar Energy policy
    Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2011
    Co-Authors: K. H. Solangi, Nasrudin Abd Rahim, R Saidur, M.r. Islam, Hina Fayaz
    Abstract:

    To overcome the negative impacts on the environment and other problems associated with fossil fuels have forced many countries to inquire into and change to environmental friendly alternatives that are renewable to sustain the increasing Energy demand. Solar Energy is one of the best renewable Energy sources with least negative impacts on the environment. Different countries have formulated Solar Energy policies to reducing dependence on fossil fuel and increasing domestic Energy production by Solar Energy. This paper discusses a review about the different Solar Energy policies implemented on the different countries of the world. According to the 2010 BP Statistical Energy Survey, the world cumulative installed Solar Energy capacity was 22928.9 MW in 2009, a change of 46.9% compared to 2008. Also this paper discussed the existing successful Solar Energy policies of few selected countries. Based on literatures, it has been found that FIT, RPS and incentives are the most beneficial Energy policies implemented by many countries around the world. These policies provide significant motivation and interest for the development and use of renewable Energy technologies. Also the status of Solar Energy policy for Malaysia is investigated and compared with that of the successful countries in the world.

  • Solar Energy Engineering Processes and Systems
    Academic Press, 2009
    Co-Authors: Soteris A Kalogirou
    Abstract:

    With the threat of global warming, and the gradual depletion of petroleum supplies, Solar electric power is rapidly becoming significant part of our Energy mix. The range of Solar cells spans different materials and different structures in the quest to extract maximum power from the device while keeping the cost to a minimum. Devices with efficiency exceeding 30% have been demonstrated in the laboratory. Solar Energy Engineering: Processes and Systems. Solar Energy Processes and Systems includes all areas of Solar Energy engineering. All subjects are presented from the fundamental level to the highest level of current research. The book includes subjects such as Energy related environmental problems, Solar collectors, Solar water heating, Solar space heating and cooling, industrial process heat, Solar desalination, photovoltaics, Solar thermal power systems and modelling of Solar systems including the use of artificial intelligence systems in Solar Energy systems modelling and performance prediction. Environmental consequences of Solar Energy Solar desalination including indirect systems Modelling and performance prediction of Solar Energy systems Worked examples and cases studies

  • Solar Energy: Markets, economics and policies
    Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2012
    Co-Authors: Govinda R Timilsina, Lado Kurdgelashvili, Patrick A. Narbel
    Abstract:

    Solar Energy has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years due to both technological improvements resulting in cost reductions and government policies supportive of renewable Energy development and utilization. This study analyzes the technical, economic and policy aspects of Solar Energy development and deployment. While the cost of Solar Energy has declined rapidly in the recent past, it still remains much higher than the cost of conventional Energy technologies. Like other renewable Energy technologies, Solar Energy benefits from fiscal and regulatory incentives, including tax credits and exemptions, feed-in-tariff, preferential interest rates, renewable portfolio standards and voluntary green power programs in many countries. The emerging carbon credit markets are expected to provide additional incentives to Solar Energy deployment; however, the scale of incentives provided by the existing carbon market instruments, such as, the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol is limited. Despite the huge technical potential, the development and large scale deployment of Solar Energy technologies world-wide still has to overcome a number of technical, financial, regulatory and institutional barriers. The continuation of policy supports might be necessary for several decades to maintain and enhance the growth of Solar Energy in both developed and developing countries. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

    Abstract:

    Solar Energy has experienced phenomenal growth in recent years due to both technological improvements resulting in cost reductions and government policies supportive of renewable Energy development and utilization. This study analyzes the technical, economic and policy aspects of Solar Energy development and deployment. While the cost of Solar Energy has declined rapidly in the recent past, it still remains much higher than the cost of conventional Energy technologies. Like other renewable Energy technologies, Solar Energy benefits from fiscal and regulatory incentives and mandates, including tax credits and exemptions, feed-in-tariff, preferential interest rates, renewable portfolio standards and voluntary green power programs in many countries. Potential expansion of carbon credit markets also would provide additional incentives to Solar Energy deployment; however, the scale of incentives provided by the existing carbon market instruments, such as the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol, is limited. Despite the huge technical potential, development and large-scale, market-driven deployment of Solar Energy technologies world-wide still has to overcome a number of technical and financial barriers. Unless these barriers are overcome, maintaining and increasing electricity supplies from Solar Energy will require continuation of potentially costly policy supports.
