The course deals with the application of methods of engineering economics in the appraisal /evaluation of solar energy systems and their comparison with other energy options. The effects of different policy, regulatory and other support measures (such as feed-in tariffs, renewable purchase obligation, soft loan, capital subsidy or viability gap funding, investment and production tax credits) on the financial attractiveness of investments in solar energy systems will be examined. Approach(es) towards quantifying the environmental benefits of investments in solar energy systems will also be discussed.
