Will rooftop solar become a standard?

The EPBD will tap into the vast potential of rooftops, estimated at 560 GW by the EU Joint Research Centre earlier this year. Jan Osenberg, Senior Policy Advisor at SolarPower Europe said: “Like the essential integration of smoke detections years ago, this new law propels rooftop solar toward becoming the standard.

What is the rooftop solar PV comparison update?

The Rooftop Solar PV Comparison Update produced by CAN Europe and eco-union, with contributions from our members, is an updated version of the Rooftop Solar PV Comparison Report published by CAN Europe in May 2022.

What is the solar rooftop standard?

The Solar Rooftop Standard will most importantly unlock the potential of large rooftops such as those installed on offices, commercial buildings, or car parks. Certain buildings such as agricultural and historic structures may be excluded. Osenberg continues: “Rooftop PV needs to be the gateway to smart electrification.

Will the EU rooftop solar standard drive more rooftop solar capacity?

According to our analysis, the EU Rooftop Solar Standard within the EPBD could drive the installation of 150 to 200 GW of additional rooftop solar capacity in the EU between 2026 and 2030. · Critically, the Solar Rooftop Standard will unlock the potential of large rooftops such as those installed on offices, commercial buildings, or car parks.

Are public buildings suitable for a solar roof?

This is assuming that 60% of public buildings are suitable and fall under the scope of the EU Solar Rooftop Standard. The EPBD will tap into the vast potential of rooftops, estimated at 560 GW by the EU Joint Research Centre earlier this year.

How will the EU solar rooftop standard affect public buildings?

Public buildings like schools and hospitals will be particularly empowered by the EU Solar Rooftop Standard, which ensures they will benefit from solar-reduced energy expenses and dependence on fossil fuels.
