TECHNO-ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF A GRID-CONNECTED RESIDENTIAL PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM: A ROMANIAN CASE STUDY

Solar energy represents one of the most important renewable sources which may help solving the challenge of decarbonizing the electricity system especially thanks to the development and evolution of technologies. A residential photovoltaic system deserves to be considered an alternative electricity source for households. The aim of this paper is to assess the technical and economic aspects of a grid-connected rooftop solar photovoltaic system used for supplying of household electricity needs in Romania. The results obtained showed the photovoltaic system was feasible when subsidies offered to encourage the adoption of solar energy were available.
