Abstract (English)

Objectives:
1. To install 1.8MWp of PV in 5 countries as part of significant urban regeneration programmes;
2. To demonstrate the application of PV as a re-roofing material in social housing planned refurbishment, thereby improving project viability by transferring roofing budgets to the PV budget;
3. To demonstrate the use of innovative energy trading mechanisms that are presented by a liberalised electricity market and the current political / environmental climate;
4. To demonstrate the use of innovative PV finance mechanisms by working with banks and finance companies to assess all the possibilities for innovative PV finance mechanisms;
5. To demonstrate the potential for cost reductions through competition and economies of scale;
