Abstract
The ratio between the energy returned from an energy production process and the energy invested in such process is a numerical indicator of the benefit involved in the exploitation of that source of energy. This paper is a first report of an ongoing project at the University of Trieste, focused on the calculation of the EROEI (Energy Return on Energy Investment) for two different photovoltaic systems.
