The construction cost of solar power plants depends on several factors such as location, size of the plant, type of solar panel technology used, and installation costs. For instance, a small photovoltaic autonomous power plant might cost around $1-2 million, while large utility-scale plant could could cost several hundreds of millions.
In recent years, small-scale rooftop PV systems have become closer to be a cost-competitive alternative to conventional power plants due to the continuous decrease of the PV system cost. Some new markets, have emerged outside Europe and the United States of America (USA) and are now releasing regulations to develop this area.
In 2010, the cost of building a concentrated solar power plant was estimated at 9 million euros per megawatt of installed capacity. Despite technical advances, the cost of such projects is still at least 10 times higher than photovoltaics.
First, the type of solar module and inverter are selected, secondly, the slope and azimuth values according to the country are inserted and finally, the city or state with the highest solar radiation is chosen. The following sections explain these steps. 3.2.1. PV module and inverter selection
At the moment, clients who plan to install a photovoltaic system, can take advantage of the following: (i) VAT reduced to 10% (instead of 22%) in solar PV system purchases; (ii) income tax deduction to cover 50% of the investment cost during the first ten years of production of up to 96,000 € (until December, 2015).

These Regulations provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for the Energy Netting and connection of the small-scale solar PV electricity generators to the Distribution Network. These Regulations come in support to the Government of Abu Dhabi drive for promoting clean and sustainable energy.
Small-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) systems either can be interconnected with local electric distribution lines and send excess power onto the grid (net-metering), or they can provide power on-site only. We define small-scale solar PV systems as smaller than 1 megawatt (MW)1 in size, typically installed on the rooftops of residences or businesses. Small-scale solar PV systems …
