solar in czech republic

Vepřek Solar Park, the largest photovoltaic plant in the Czech Republic and as of October 2010 10^th largest in the world

Use of solar power in the Czech Republic is focused on solar water heating and photovoltaics. While solar heating has long and gradual history, photovoltaics started boosting in 2009 and 2010 due to combination of feed-in tariffs, falling photovoltaic arrays and Czech koruna strengthening, and is stagnant since then. As of December 2011 12,951 photovoltaic installations have together 1,964 MW_e. As of 2010 308 868 m² of solar water collectors were installed.

Solar water heating

First solar collector in Czech Republic was installed in 1977. At the end of 1980 1,400 m² of collectors were installed, mainly in agriculture. All systems were manufactred domestically. Later statistics for 1980s are not available. Estimates are 5000 m² in 1983 and 8,000 m² for 1986. In late 1980s number of manufactured systems and installations decreased due to questionable economy and decreasing electricity prices. Decommissioned systems from industrial use were partially installed in residential, as price for new systems was for residential extremly high. It is estimated that 50,000 m² of collectors was installed in Czech Republic in 1977 - 1992.

After Velvet Revolution and transition to the market economy, industrial use declined sharply, but residential use started slowly growth. Also because of exports most of domestic system manufacturers ended its production. In 2000s new systems started to be supported by government, rising energy prices influenced growing new systems installations as well. In late 2000s growth was cause mainly by richly funded program Zelená úsporám by state fund Státní fond životního prostředí funded by sale of AAUs.
