Abstract

Photovoltaic (PV) energy has recently been gaining much attention worldwide. It is the least expensive energy source which can be used to replace part of the energy from fossil fuels. The European Union (EU) published the European Green Deal in 2019 with the aim of achieving climate neutrality. The PV solar energy market has gained technological maturity and can help to achieve these climate targets.
