By 2030, solar panels will become the cheapest renewable energy in Europe Bashny.Net

The staff of the KIC InnoEnergy has prepared a series of reports that compared the cost of electricity production using various renewable energy sources and analyzed, how they will shrink in the coming years as technologies improve, "green" energy. In a related analysis the prospects of Europe's wind, solar (photovoltaics) and solar thermal (solar thermal) generation.





The analysis showed that wind power costs by the end of 20-ies of this century will be reduced by only 5.5 percent. The cost in solar thermal energy (in contrast to photovoltaics, to generate electricity use the heat energy of solar rays, not their light) will remain the highest among all RES, though will be reduced in the next 15 years by 29%. To develop a solar thermal plant of 1 MW•h of electricity in 2030 will need to spend from 130 to 200 euros.

But in the traditional solar energy technological innovation will reduce costs by 2030, 22-30% compared with the current. In addition, the cost of the PV panels during this time can be reduced by 37-49%. This will reduce the cost of electricity generation in the industry with today's 77-80 43-49 Euro to Euro per MWh in the beginning of 30-ies. That is, production costs will be reduced by more than 40%.





Reduce costs, according to analysts KIC InnoEnergy, 80-90% will be achieved through seven the future of innovation in the production of solar panels. In particular, the European scientists predict a breakthrough in artificial breeding of molecules of crystalline silicon, as well as in the manufacture of the module for thin films that cover the panels.

Thus, the electric power generated by solar panels, will be in 15 years by far cheaper than wind or solar thermal. However, the authors of the study urged Europeans not to be complacent. Although solar panels have good prospects, Europe needs to be concerned about the recent reduction in investment in the renewable energy sector as a whole, especially when compared with China. published
