Project idea title	Ecological, economic and social benefits of using photovoltaic systems in Albania
Specific problem to be addressed	Electricity plays an important role in the everyday life, but its usage may lead to social, environmental and safety problems. Fortunately, nowadays there are alternative solutions of generating electricity such as the use of renewable energy sources (RES). The conversion of solar power into electricity using photovoltaic systems, leads to economic and ecological benefits. International energy crises, as well as the integration into the European community dictate the use of renewable energies in a large-scale in general and particularly in Albania.
Main project activities planned	1. Undertake a feasibility stydy on the possibility of using photovoltaic system in the Campus of “Aleksander Moisiu” University, Durrës (hereafter refered as UAMD). 2. Raise awareness of the production of energy from renewable sources, based on the EU best practices. 3. Develop the curricilas on the design, installation and maintenance of such systems. 4. Develop a database that registers and manage all the technical parameters necessary to install and use photovoltaic panels. 5. Implement a pilot photovoltaic system in one of the buildings of UAMD.
Expected outputs and results	1. Feasibility report that analysis the economic, technical, operational and legal aspects of using photovoltaic system in the Campus of UAMD. 2. Curricilas on the design, installation and maintenance of such systems, that aims to increase the wareness in the education process of the students related to the use of RES. 3. Database that registers and manage all the technical parameters necessary to install and use photovoltaic panels 4. Implementation of the photovoltaic systems in one of the buildings of UAMD.
