太阳能被广泛认为是一种主要的可再生能源，在未来的能源系统中，它将能够为能源供应安全和减少CO2排放做出贡献。本研究结合台湾太阳能资源评估与土地利用分析，考虑当地土地利用条件对太阳能开发的潜力与限制。研究结果显示，光生伏打发电与太阳能热水器在台湾每年可产生36.1 TWh与10.2 TWh的电力与热能，分别占2009年家庭热水器用电量与能源消耗量的16.3%与127.5%。然而，2009年已开发的太阳能光伏发电仅占台湾总潜力的0.02%，而已开发的太阳能热水器则占总潜力的11.6%。市场价格与投资动机是影响台湾太阳能装置市场接受度的主要因素。在实现太阳能的潜在贡献之前，必须消除购买和输送可再生能源发电的行政障碍。
Solar energy is widely regarded as a major renewable energy source, which in future energy systems will be able to contribute to the security of energy supply and the reduction of CO2emissions. This study combined an evaluation of solar energy resources in Taiwan with land use analysis, which allows the potentials and restrictions of solar energy exploitation resulting from local land use conditions to be considered. The findings unveiled in this study indicate that photovoltaic electricity generation and solar water heating have the potential of producing 36.1 and 10.2TWh of electricity and thermal energy annually in Taiwan, accounting for 16.3% and 127.5% of the total domestic consumption of electricity and energy for household water heating in 2009, respectively. However, the exploited solar photovoltaic power generation in 2009 accounted for only 0.02% of total potential in Taiwan, while the exploited solar water heating accounted for 11.6% of total potential. Market price and investment incentive are the dominant factors that affect market acceptance of solar energy installation in Taiwan. The administrative barriers to the purchase and transmission of electricity generated from renewable energy sources have to be removed before the potential contribution of solar energy can be realized.
