摘要：

United Arab Emirates (U.A.E) is an oil-rich country located in the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula with CO2 emissions per capita reported to be one of the highest in the region. The government has planned its first renewable energy policy with the goal to achieve 7% of the total power from renewable energy technologies by 2020. The objective of this study is to assess the suitability of different photo-voltaic technologies for a residential house in six major cities of U.A.E. The economic analysis has been carried out using RETScreen software. The results show that the most suitable city for a standalone photovoltaic system installation is the city of Sharjah. A standalone photovoltaic system supported by the one-axis tracking system is technically and economically more viable compared to a clamped system or even a system with two-axis tracking technology. The latter system reduces the 6.8 tCO(2) of annual greenhouse gas emissions. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
