Abstract:

The aim оf my рrоject is tо make a cоmрarisоn оf photovoltaic systems in two different countries. One of them is Armenia and the second one is Czech Republic. The comparison will be for different installation, construction and operation possibilities of solar systems. Also the aim is to calaculate the economical part of solar systems for both of the countires.For that we collected the data about solar irradiation from trustworthy sources for photovoltaic systems of Armenia and Czech Republic and after that we count up the production of energy for the duration of one year under several construtions.By analyzing the results we can mention that photovoltaic system in Armenia have capability to produce more electricity than PV system in Czech Republic and after calculating the time of energy payback for two countries we can mention, that this is also showing the same behavior. In this case PV system in Armenia is showing the time of energy payback approximately 4-5 years and for Czech Republic that time is around 6-7 years but there is need also to say that exists a difference in time of price payback which is connected with the fact, that both countries have different prices for electricity per kWh.In Armenia people are paying less as compared to Czech Republic for electricity. So the time of price payback is nearly 2-3 years less in Armenia than in Czech Republic.
