The Challenges and Strategies of Diffusion for Solar Energy Application on Taiwan Buildings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Taiwan is highly vulnerable in energy security, but geographic conditions for the development of solar energy applications have created a considerable advantage. However, the total installed solar energy capacity is far less than might be expected. Consequently, this study proceeds to explore the main factors that affect diffusion of solar energy application concerning Taiwan buildings. Through the evaluation decision-making system model and expert groups giving evaluation values and feedback, the study found twenty-three items of key influencing factors with seven major objectives, and propose strategies for energy development in the future to improve the quality and quantity of renewable energy applications and competitiveness of national energy. This research, in addition to providing references to relevant environmental energy systems for deployment and technological R&D, also provides developing and underdeveloped countries access to applications of solar energy technology assessment and forecasts for the future.
