Advantages and Disadvantages PROS CONS
CO2-Reduction potential • PV produces clean electricity • Assumption: in 2050, PV generation of 4,500 TWh • CO2-Reduction: 2.3 Gt of CO2-emissions per year worldwide CO2-savings (FRANKL et al. 2010.)
A global overview Austria India Brazil China The PV-Market
Global PV-market 2008 • Leadingcountry – Germany: 14,500 MW of PV (36%) • Total PV capacity in 1992 – 0.1 GW in 2008 – 14 GW • In 2009 6.43 GW wereinstalledworldwide Leading global Photovoltaic markets (FRANKL et al. 2010.) MARKETBUZZ. 2010.
Austria • Open BIPV potential: 140 km² roof and 50 km² facade • 60% of that surface 22.5 GWp • Covering 20% of Austrians need of electricity in 2050. • Installedcapacityin 2008: • 29.030 kWp (grid-connected) • 3.357 kWp (off-grid) Kumulative PV-power in kWpeak in Austria (BIERMAYR et al., 2009)
Rapidly growing PV-markets • Brazil • PV in rural electrification, telecommunication, waterpumping, publiclighting in rural areas • Grid-connected PV systems (22 kWp) • Programmes: PRODEEM, Luz paraTodos, INMETRO • India • Capacity in 2008: 1.9 MW stand-alonesystemes 2.7 MW grid-connectedsystems • „National Solar Mission“ • target: 20 GW generationof PV-electricityby 2020 • PV systems: rural, remote areaandindustrial (FRANKL et al., 2010) (PV Group, 2009)
Rapidly growing PV-markets • China • Ranks 1st in exporting PV cells (95% ofproducedcells) • Domestic PV-outputgrewfrom 100 MW (2005) to 2 GW (2008) • Chinas installedcapacityis 150 MW • increasingmarketshareforcommunications, commercialandindustrialuses • Large-scale PV installations in desertareasand BIPV systems • China couldpredictlyinstall 20 GW by 2020 (FRANKL et al., 2010)
