EaP Solar Panels Study - Component 2 Report: Review of EaP Countries’ Experience with Building PVs

This report presents a review of practices in the Eastern Partner (EaP) Countries in respect of buildings’ solar PV technology and application. It briefly discusses the degree of the EaP Countries’ harmonisation with the EU policies supporting Renewable Energy Sources (RES) in general and provides an overview of solar PV technology. It discusses the essential features of the legal and regulatory environment the EaP Countries have reached so far, and  the current penetration levels of solar PV in buildings. The review of practices relies on individual assessments of each specific national system, based on a common National Report template, and results in identification of gaps. The gap analysis leads to the formulation of some recommendations. It is important to note that the data, information and conclusions included in this report reflect the time at which the report was drafted i.e. the period between March and May 2017.
