Original Title:
Ανανεώσιμες πηγές ενέργειας: οικονομική αξιολόγηση και ανάλυση κινδύνου φωτοβολταικού πάρκου ισχύος 100 KWp.
Translated title:
Financial assesment and risk analysis of a 100 KWp photovoltaic power station.
Summary:
Climate change and global warming have caused a global increase in the use of renewable energy sources. 2019 was the ninth consecutive year during which solar energy through photovoltaic systems attracted the largest share of new investments in renewable energy sources. The purpose of this research is to conduct a financial assessment and risk analysis for the creation of a photovoltaic park with a power of 100 kWp for a period of 20 years in Greece. The net present value method was used to calculate these cash flows, while the PEST analysis and the Risk Breakdown Structure (RBS) methodology were used for the risk analysis. The results of the research indicated that with the appropriate and sufficient financial and risk analysis, an investment in a photovoltaic park can be evaluated, as well as that significant economic, environmental and social benefits derive from such an investment. Future research, however, based on different sustainability scenarios and the views of stakeholders themselves, is needed.
