European photovoltaic panel specification standard table

How many solar PV installations are needed in Europe?

The EU has set a target of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 55% from 1990 levels, by 2030. In its 100% Renewable Europe study, SolarPower Europe estimates that, to achieve this, an extra 870 GW of solar PV installations are required by the same year.

Are there any EU GPP criteria for solar photovoltaic products?

2.5.1. Existing GPP criteria sets used in the EU. There is not currently an EU GPP criteria set for the solar photovoltaic product group. An EU criteria set for green electricity was published in 2012 by DG Environment 14.

What is the European solar PV industry alliance?

The European Solar PV Industry Alliance was by the Commission together with industrial actors, research institutes, associations and other relevant parties on 9 December 2022 to support the objectives of the EU's Solar Energy Strategy.

How many European public tenders are there for solar PV systems?

Relatively few European public tenders for solar PV systems were found to be published39, with 46 tender documents for a period from 7/2015 until 4/2018. The most active country was Poland followed by France, Germany, UK, Ireland, Italy and Switzerland.

What is the average irradiation yield of photovoltaic modules in Europe?

This is the annual average yield of optimally oriented modules in Europe, weighted according to the cumulative installed photovoltaic power when excluding degradation effects (Wyss et al., 2015). Frischknecht et al. (2015) use an irradiation of 1700 kWh/m2/yr, representative for Southern European (Mediterranean) conditions.

How many GW of PV modules are there in Europe?

The total cumulative power of PV modules imported into Europe was approximately 87 GW up until the reference year, 2016. Adding the local production (23.92 GW) and subtracting the exports (9.43 GW), the installed base that constitutes the stock is estimated at 101.86 GW for year 2016.
