Photovoltaics solutions and energy communities in a clean energy roadmap

Abstract

The present paper deals with solutions regarding the development of the Energy Strategy toward 2050 for a clean and sustainable future. At the national level conceptual elements are needed to draw a roadmap for the energy transition in the Republic of Moldova. The paper presents the renewable energy potential of the country with focus on photovoltaic energy production. A specific PV deployment solution is also analysed, namely the floating PV, while use cases for using this solution for serving energy communities in the rural area has been also proposed. The solutions can be considered steps that will foreshadow the national energy long-term strategy in the energy sector. An efficient transition to decarbonised energy systems requires the search for innovative solutions to increase the penetration of renewable energy sources, for changing the future energy system by promoting and evaluating innovative perspectives.
