Can a PV power plant operate profitably in Greece?
The renewable energy produced each year from the PV power plant varied between 33.35 MW h in Ioannina and 41.63 MW h in Tymbakion while the average value for the 46 locations is 37.61 MW h. The results of the financial analysis demonstrate that a PV power plant can operate profitably at any of the considered sites in Greece.
