Regardless of the load matching advantages, contrary to grid-connected PV systems, energy storage systems are not yet cost-effective without subsidy. This is because of the much higher incremental cost for such systems. This is evident in the higher annualized costs in the PV with energy storage...
At the same time, compliance with minimum energy performance targets could be better guaranteed if part of the subsidy is only paid once proper execution and functioning has been proven. To conclude, simplification and acceleration of legal procedures for energy retrofits may be required [127]. ...
Complementarily, [20] introduces a subsidy scheme based on CO2 emission prices, using a discounted cash flow model to promote PV adoption in mature markets in Italy while analyzing self-consumption levels and economic variables. Reference [21] combines artificial neural networks with agent-based ...
It is envisaged that the subsidy removal will be implemented in 2020. This envisaged rise in electricity tariffs will catalyze a rapid adoption of Energy-saving strategies such as green roofs. It will also improve the economic viability of such energy conservation strategies. Additionally, the ...
