Incentives for photovoltaics are offered to producers of electricity
from photovoltaic systems. A government can offer incentives for the
PV industry to promote the economies of scale necessary to make the
cost of photovoltaic electricity competitive with the cost of the
existing grid. These policies are carried to promote national or
territorial energy independence and reduce carbon dioxide emissions
that cause global warming.
Enabling the check mark Allow
incentive to photovoltaic production you can enter the revenue
from incentives in the economic analysis. Because each country may
decide different methods of incentives, the program proposes a method
for evaluating generic and simplified to the definition of incentives.
Feed in tariff: Are the
tariffs, related to the production of electricity, expressed in
[currency/kWp] with which the program evaluates the revenue from
incentives. You can define different tariffs for different use of
energy produced:
Feed-in tariff for the produced energy:
All the energy produced gets the incentive specified
Feed-in tariff for energy fed to
the grid: The incentive is applied only to the energy fed into
the grid
Feed-in tariff for self-consumed energy:
The incentive is applied only to the energy self-consumed
by users of PV system
Tariffs may be cumulated enabling its check marks. But tariffs may
also decrease over the years, in this case must be assigned parameter Annual
variation of feed-in tariff as a percentage of annual
reduction of tariffs set.
Payout duration: It is the
period of time in years as they are granted the incentives.
In addition to revenues due to incentives, the energy that is not
self-consumed can be sold to the grid operator. But not always the
rules that manage the incentives that allow the sale or net metering
are compatible with the incentives.
Therefore, if these revenues are compatible, you must use the check
mark Additional remuneration for
sale/net metering
