Abstract

Recently the photovoltaic markets are rapidly changing to renovate the PV support system by government in Korea. This situation is due to changing Korean PV support system to the Renewable portfolio standard (RPS) in 2012, so PV market in Korea meets the confused stage. Actual state is demanded an objective analysis for government´s support system because existing system (Feed-in Tariff) and RPS pilot project for 2011 coexist in 2011 now. And especially as Germany has retained the greatest PV market share for a long time globally, it is necessary that Korea checks their present conditions on policy for stable and continuous growth like German PV area. Therefore we compared and analyzed the PV support system (FIT) of Korea and Germany from an economical point of view.
