Economic analyses of new photovoltaic materials application and their effects on landscape management

Abstract

Photovoltaic technology is one of the best ways for application of the solar energy. New photo voltaik panels are composed of silicon pn-junction photocell for converting solar radiation into electrical power. In the future other materials and concepts can be expected to come into play. Some of these are: dye sensitized cells, organic solar cells and various concentrating systems including III/V-tandem cells. Since the solar energy is comming to the Earth as a free renewable resources, it is one of the cheepest way of electric energy production. This paper containes economic analises of photovoltaic technology application, in comparison with two other alternatives, in one specific ecology camp. Solar power plants have sertain impact on the environment. Review on constructed power plants in the world and their effects on landscape management is done.
