摘要
In this paper, a comparative study assessing net metering and feed-in tariffs is proposed for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems in the Kuwaiti market. This study measures the impact of the two mechanisms as well as a mechanism combining both approaches in deploying solar energy systems in residential areas. The advantages and disadvantages of each approach are inspected to determine the optimal approach for Kuwaiti market conditions. A feasibility study on installing a roof-mounted PV system in a typical Kuwaiti residential building is utilized to validate the optimum solar electricity mechanism. The proposed study intends to reduce the peak load demand in Kuwait’s electric grid as a solution to the shortage of electric production capacity by encouraging investors and house owners to invest in solar energy. PV*Sol premium 2018 (R10) and RETScreen software packages are utilized to perform the assessment and study analysis.
