The concept of cities as potential photovoltaic power plants is
rapidly gaining prominence, but until now there has been no large
scale study of the impacts of such development on urban fabric and
infrastructure, or on inhabitants. This book, based on wide-ranging
studies supported by the European Commission and International
Energy Agency, is the first to properly address these issues.
It sets out by looking at the implications on planning policy of
PV in the urban environment, and giving an overview of the
implementation and occupation processes. It then moves on to
present detailed case studies from a range of European cites,
examining the role of large scale PV installations in urban renewal
and new urban area development stretching back over 15 years. It
ends with a review of technical guidelines for PV, and
regulation/legalities surrounding planning, building and grid
connection. The book will form an essential resource for planners
and developers who are considering including large scale PV in
their plans and who want to understand what has (or hasn't) worked,
and why. Published with Intelligent Energy
