Abstract :
The construction boom of photovoltaic (PV) plants in Europe has passed its peak. 75 % of the cumulated installed power has been built in the last three years. This work investigated share, distribution, and sizes of free-field PV plants in Europe by evaluation of manufacturer´s reference data, governmental data and Google mapping. In the region of South Moravia (Czech Republic) free-field PV plants and roof-top plants in Brno were mapped and analyzed in detail. The result of this work is a snapshot of the PV solar activity in 28 member countries of the European Union (EU28) as at December 2013.
