A Multicriteria Analysis of Photovoltaic Systems: Energetic, Environmental, and Economic Assessments

الملخص EN

The development of photovoltaic (PV) energy has led to rising efficiencies, better reliability, and falling prices.

A multicriteria analysis (MCA) of PV systems is proposed in this paper in order to evaluate the sustainability of alternative projects.

The investigations are presented using multiple indicators: Energy Payback Time (EPBT), Energy Return on Investment (EROI), Greenhouse Gas per kilowatt-hour (GHG/kWh), Greenhouse Gas Payback Time (GPBT), Greenhouse Gas Return on Investment (GROI), Net Present Value (NPV), Discounted Payback Time (DPBT), and Discounted Aggregate Cost Benefit ( D(B/C) A ).

PV energy is a relevant player in global electricity market and can have a key-role in sustainable growth.
