The solar energy and installation companies can be found in all of the major cities throughout the island, including Nicosia (the capital), Limassol, Larnaca, Famagusta and Paphos. In 2011, the Cypriot target of solar power including both photovoltaics and concentrated solar power was a combined 7% of electricity by 2020.
Local engineers and researchers, together with energy experts from Austria and Denmark, have worked to develop the use of this natural resource on the island. The research promoted the development of Cyprus as a hub for solar power innovation. The initiative harnessed expertise on all aspects of the solar energy cycle.
More Energy related stories Sun-drenched Cyprus imports most of its energy, but this is unnecessary: Cyprus has the highest solar power potential in the European Union. Local engineers and researchers, together with energy experts from Austria and Denmark, have worked to develop the use of this natural resource on the island.
In an attempt to make Cyprus more energy self-sufficient, the EU-funded TwinPV initiative focuses on bolstering the country’s technological know-how through the sharing of expertise on the entire solar energy cycle – from cells and modules to storage and smart electricity grids.
“Cyprus possesses the highest solar potential in Europe but the country currently imports almost all of its power, making it an ideal location for the development of solar energy,” says TwinPV coordinator George E. Georghiou of the University of Cyprus.
