Proposal to PV Systems Study.

Abstract

The Department of Electrical Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Catalonia has been started a new investigation line in the field of renewable energies, concretely in the PV Systems field.
Although our first intention was to study the technical aspects of PV Systems, soon we realized about the scarce PV Systems use. This fact was the reason that motivated us to begin an investigation to determine the principal aspects that impact negatively in the development of the PV Systems.
This article reports on the principal existing barriers in the development of the photovoltaic systems, scans briefly the historical evolution of the existing legislation in the area of renewable energies, and describes the principal symptom of the problem in the development of the photovoltaic systems.
Finally the article describes the four principal work points, or investigation lines, that are intended to develop in order to study the PV Systems implementation in Catalonia.
