This being said, the energy sector is a vital domain with a vast potential for improvments in terms of technologies and ligistalations. Solar energy is among the most efficient solutions proposed to reduce the economic and environmental footprints of energy.
Solar systems are not yet cost effective compared with the conventional ASHP heating system that uses grid power. Regardless of the forms of solar panels, the addition of solar energy systems increases the EAC value by 3.2% (Sect. "Cost and environment impact").
The estimation of energy has the advantage of being precise and provides a comprehensive perspective of the power plant, which aids in determining the essential parameters. The energy generated by solar PV is estimated in MW which is compared with different types of generations according to their estimations.
Therefore, based on the information mentioned above, the advantages of solar energy technology are a renewable and clean energy source that is plentiful, cheaper costs, less maintenance and environmentally friendly, to name but a few.
Therefore, investments in solar energy fulfill the energy goals and protect the environment as it lowers greenhouse gas emissions without having negative impacts on the growth of the country. Besides the reduction of carbon footprint, solar energy benefit in achieving economic growth.
These communities are the Sustainability of solar energy in different scenarios and Solar energy applications. It should be considered that the most applicable energy at present is photovoltaic energy, a fact that is expected to increase in the future, although it is not the only one.
