PV Legal launches online database

On 17 May, the PV Legal consortium has launched the largest and most comprehensive online database, gathering detailed quantitative and qualitative data on project development processes and bureaucratic barriers hampering the set-up of photovoltaic (PV) systems, in 12 EU countries.

The PV LEGAL project, an initiative co-funded by the Intelligent Energy Europe Programme of the European Commission, has published today the result of six months of intense research in 12 EU countries which aimed at providing a thorough research and analysis of all the steps and costs incurred in order to comply with administrative and legal requirements when setting up a PV system in one of these countries.

Although most EU countries recognise the potential of solar PV and implement support policies the national PV market is not yet expected to grow to its full potential due to bureaucratic hurdles.

In each country, the research has been conducted by surveying the necessary procedures to be complied with for the three main market segments: a) small-scale installations on residential buildings; b) small to medium-scale installations on commercial buildings; and c) medium to large-scale ground-mounted installations on open lands. For each segment the project development processes have been identified and described in detail with information on duration, waiting time and legal-administrative costs of each process.

The PV LEGAL database is a very comprehensive tool which provides both market actors and policy makers with a detailed analysis of the situation and allows highlighting the best practices and existing bottlenecks.

As a next step the project partners will address recommendations to policy makers and grid operators in the main European PV markets by means of advisory papers. National and regional advisory papers will serve as a guide for effectively improving legal-administrative procedures in the participating countries. The preliminary papers will be analysed and evaluated by all stakeholders during the national forums and afterwards serve as input for the discussions with authorities, policy-makers and grid operators during review workshops.
