The Role Of Renewable Energy And Storage Technologies In Sustainable Development: Simulation In The Construction Industry
Provisionally accepted- Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland
This article investigates sustainable energy solutions addressing critical environmental issues such as climate change and resource depletion. It focuses on a 26-year simulation of photovoltaic (PV) system integration within a Polish construction manufacturing company, analyzing energy savings, cost efficiency, and environmental impacts. The findings highlight that PV systems significantly reduce electricity expenses and reliance on grid power, with a payback period of approximately 9.4 years, while contributing to notable CO2 emission reductions. These results underscore enhanced operational efficiency and financial viability through renewable energy adoption. The study provides valuable insights for companies in the construction sector, advocating the adoption of renewable energy technologies for their financial and environmental benefits. Furthermore, it emphasizes the societal advantages of renewable energy, including CO2 reduction, public health improvements, and environmental conservation. By employing long-term simulation, this research offers a unique perspective on the practical and economic impacts of renewable energy solutions, reinforcing the role of PV systems in advancing sustainability goals within the industry.
