Economic analysis of using micro-generation systems on a camping vehicle in an Iberian context

In this paper, economic aspects of using micro-generation systems installed on a camping vehicle is described and discussed. The economic analysis is performed using solar irradiation data from three regions of Spain (Barcelona, Malaga and Alicante) and one region of Portugal (Faro). Knowing that micro-generation systems using renewable energy can contribute significantly not only to reduce pollutant emissions but also to improve the energy balance of modern societies, this analysis takes into consideration the policies and legal issues in terms of energy market, micro-generation systems and hybrid electric vehicles.
