But for now, let’s focus on the most important economic benefits of solar energy usage. 1. Lower Utility Bills
Solar energy can also make a significant contribution to the energy needs of these countries and ensure their energy security, as these economies are characterized by high rates of population and economic growth ( Chanchangi et al., 2022; Tutar and Atas, 2022 ).
Net Energy Metering Having a solar system installed can help you not only cut down on electricity usage but earn money as well. If you have a solar system that’s powerful enough to cover all of the needs of your household and still generate more energy, you can send it back to the grid and sell that surplus to the local electric company.
However, the net value or overall economic benefit potentially brought by solar energy is closely linked to prevailing energy prices, with evidence suggesting that high energy prices positively affect the adoption of solar PV.
In addition to the abovementioned factors that determine the spatial distribution of financial performance, economic revenue would also be affected by temporal (daily, monthly and seasonal) variations of solar PV generation and residential electricity consumption.
The high costs combined with a long payback period make PV a less attractive avenue for investment [36, 37]. Jayaraman et al. investigated the impact of the economic return or monetary benefits that investment in solar PV may yield in the form of savings on energy bills or exchanging surplus energy for a price.
