研究目的
Investigating the economic and environmental impacts of deploying solar photovoltaic technology in the Aachen Region.
研究成果
The deployment of solar PV in the Aachen region generates significant economic benefits, including regional value added and employment effects, alongside substantial environmental benefits from avoided greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. The study highlights the potential of renewable energy technologies to contribute to regional economic development and environmental sustainability.
研究不足
The study does not include an overall assessment of the PV industry in the region but focuses on impacts directly induced by PV deployment. It also does not account for net effects resulting from crowding out other electricity generation technologies. The accuracy of the assessment depends on the availability of current data on cost developments in the PV industry.
