Solar panels on every rooftop? Photovoltaics boom in Poland and the role of the European Union funds
This study investigates the rapid expansion of photovoltaic (PV) investments in Poland from 2015 to 2024, comparing the development of the PV market with other renewable energy technologies. Drawing on secondary data from the Energy Regulatory Office, Statistics Poland, and Eurostat, alongside primary research, the analysis identifies key drivers of this growth. Primary data include a consumer and prosumer survey conducted in 2021 and 2024, and annual performance observations of a 4.4 kW PV micro-installation in central Poland to estimate return on investment (ROI). Findings confirm that the PV sector is the fastest-growing segment of Poland's renewable energy market, primarily driven by government subsidies co-funded by the European Union. Rising energy prices and the financial viability of PV micro-installations are primary motivators for adoption. Additionally, survey respondents highlighted environmental quality improvements and the welfare of future generations as significant factors. This study underscores the interplay of economic, policy, and societal drivers in shaping Poland's PV market boom.
期刊介绍:
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers.
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.
