Abstract

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have over 50% and 30% of global oil and gas reserves respectively and have therefore traditionally relied on fossil fuels to meet all their energy requirements. In recent years however there has been a realization to diversify their energy mix and tap on their rich solar energy potential. While buildings account for as much as 80% of the total national power generation in these countries, the emphasis thus far has been on large scale solar energy projects. The article examines the prospects of application of PV in building by undertaking a strength, weakness, opportunities and threat (SWOT) analysis. In this respect wide ranging technical, cultural, economic and policy related factors have been highlighted. A modeling exercise has also been undertaken to examine the rooftop applicability of PV in residential buildings. Underlying examples from developed countries, the paper concludes with policy recommendations to promote the application of solar.
在海湾合作委员会国家建设相关光伏系统:SWOT分析
海湾合作委员会(GCC)成员国的石油和天然气储量分别占全球的50%和30%以上,因此传统上依赖化石燃料来满足所有能源需求。然而,近年来,他们已经意识到要使能源结构多样化,并利用其丰富的太阳能潜力。虽然这些国家的建筑发电量占全国总发电量的80%,但到目前为止,重点一直放在大型太阳能项目上。本文通过进行优势、劣势、机会和威胁(SWOT)分析,探讨了光伏在建筑中的应用前景。在这方面,强调了广泛的技术、文化、经济和政策方面的有关因素。还进行了一项建模工作,以检查光伏在住宅建筑物中的屋顶适用性。本文以发达国家为例,提出了促进太阳能应用的政策建议。
