Perspectives of photovoltaic energy market development in the european union

Increasing Energy Self-Consumption in Residential Photovoltaic Systems

“…In recent years, due to political and economic events in the world that have largely hit EU countries, in particular, the armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia, interest in RES technologies has increased significantly. The importance of the development of RES installations in the EU is confirmed by a number of actions, funds and policies [1]. The latest legislative changes in the EU assume the achievement of very ambitious goals, including the use of RES in the overall energy mix to at least 40% by 2030, reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 55% when compared to levels in 1990, and reaching climate neutrality by 2050 [2].…”

“…Nowadays systems with PV panels and heat pumps (HPs) of various types are the most dynamically developing sector in RES technologies. Especially PV energy is getting more interest worldwide and in UE as a source of cheap, environmentally friendly and clean energy [1,5]. In 2021, 18.7% of the total capacity in PV globally, which corresponds to 158 GW, was installed in EU [6].…”

“…In the study [19] the comparison of demand response and battery operations focused on increasing SC and storing surplus PV energy have been presented. Hassan in the article [14] presented results from gridconnected PV installations without storage system and special energy management systems where = (1) obtain SC from around 16% to 50% in a one-year period. The improvement of SC with different approaches (demand-side management, battery storage or mix) allows getting SC from 28% to 78%.…”
