“…The wider diffusion of PV is particularly crucial to lower the environmental impact of the residential sector, which is responsible for a large share (approximately 31%) of total final energy consumption in Switzerland [3]. PV in the residential area is commonly rackmounted on top of an established building (building-attached PV), whereas PV systems integrated into the shell of a building, called building-integrated PV (BIPV), represent only a niche market so far [4]. However, BIPV provide the opportunity for a more upscale architectural design, as they are an integral construction element of a building.…”

a b s t r a c tThe wider diffusion of solar photovoltaics (PV) is crucial to lower the environmental impact of the residential sector, which is responsible for a large share of energy consumption in many industrialized countries, including Switzerland. By conducting an adaptive choice-based conjoint (ACBC) with a representative sample of Swiss homeowners planning to undertake a roof renovation project, we investigate the extent to which financial and non-financial factors drive homeowners' preferences for PV in Switzerland. We reveal that the color and country of origin of the PV modules are the main drivers for increasing share of preference for PV. In addition, we estimate the price premium that homeowners are willing to pay for building-integrated PV (BIPV) versus rack-mounted PV. We find a premium in willingness to pay of 21.79% for a roof with a BIPV installation in comparison with a rack-mounted PV installation. We further show that an increase in revenues from electricity sales (e.g. via feed-in tariffs), when transparently disclosed over an aggregated time frame, would be almost equally effective in spurring demand for PV as a decrease of initial investment costs (e.g. via one-off investment grants). Implications for energy policy and marketing are discussed. (H.C. Curtius), rolf.wuestenhagen@unisg.ch (R. Wüstenhagen). 1 The term extremely likely has been used to indicate the likelihood of 95%-100% of the outcome [1].

“…This is an important concern if the energy yield per day wants to remain stable in accordance with what is needed. Because of that, this is a concern that maybe in the future it can be developed if the energy from this gas landfill will be developed for a large scale [5,6]. Waste material that is in the waste disposal area can be used as an electric energy generator for domestic consumption.…”

Electrical energy is produced by objects that are electrically charged. Static electric charges will cause electrical potential energy, while dynamic electric charges will cause electric current and magnetic energy. The size of the population and the diversity of activities in metropolitan cities in Indonesia have resulted in general problems in urban infrastructure services, such as current waste problems. Waste is defined as solid waste consisting of organic substances which are considered useless and must be managed so as not to endanger the environment and protect development investment. Landfill gas is a gas produced by solid waste which is disposed of in landfills. The waste is piled up and pressed mechanically and the pressure from the layer above it. Because the condition becomes anaerobic, the organic matter decomposes and gas landfill is produced. This gas is increasingly gathering to be slowly released into the atmosphere and if it is not used or handled properly it will be dangerous because it can pollute the air and the atmosphere of the earth. The largest gas content found in LFG is methane by 45 - 60% and followed by carbon dioxide by 25-50%. Landfill gas is produced from the decomposition of organic waste material.

To meet the needs of electrical energy, there are alternative energy sources such as solar power in a form of solar power plant. An important equipment aim to handle the of converting of solar energy into electrical energy are solar cells. The development of devices used to modify solar energy into electrical energy has been done since the mid-first half of the last century. Gradually the device is named by scientists with a photovoltaic device, or so-called solar cells (solar cell. This research tested polycrystalline solar module in sunny weather, bright cloudy and overcast. The test results show the effect of solar cell surface temperature to the value of its output power [1]. The condition of the polycrystalline solar panels will work optimally at the measured 32° C -50° C temperature range on the surface of the solar cell.
