Outline
PV market and industrial activity in GreeceDr. Alexander Zachariou, Solar Cells Hellas/Deputy Secretary of HELAPCO
Energy consumption in buildings accounts for 40% of the total energy consumption and hence air pollution, the greenhouse effect and consequently the extreme weather conditions occurring around the planet recently.
Energy needs continuously increase, following quality of life improvement.
The only way to cover the growing energy requirements without further environmental impact is increasing the share of renewable energy sources in the energy mix.
Introduction
PV market and industrial activity in GreeceDr. Alexander Zachariou, Solar Cells Hellas/Deputy Secretary of HELAPCO
Climate conditions in SE Europe are favourable for exploiting renewable energy sources, particularly wind and solar.Solar energy can be directly converted into heat (solar thermal collectors) or electricity (photovoltaic modules).The photovoltaic effect was observed in 1839, but the first applications were made possible after semiconductors were discovered in 1954.Today there is large scale PV industry developed in Germany, Japan, China and the US. The technology is becoming mature.However, production is still expensive and support is required for market development.

Investment opportunities
PV market and industrial activity in GreeceDr. Alexander Zachariou, Solar Cells Hellas/Deputy Secretary of HELAPCO
More than 7000 applications have been submitted for PV installation licenses, corresponding to 3.5 GWp.
Potential for v. large projects (25-50MWp) Grid parity expected 2012-2015 Household sector incentives (<10kWp, higher tariff, 25 years, simplified
procedures) Sustainable market with large number of building integrated systems (BIPV)
Use existing infrastructure, no additional space needed Auxiliary role in building, replacement of building components Proximity to grid/consumption, decentralised production Peak shaving, grid reinforcement
