| Abstrakt: | The thesis evaluates the prospects of use of the solar energy in the Czech Republic. The thesis contains the estimation of merit-order effect caused by renewable sources. Its value is 5.74 EUR/MWh in 2014 out of which 2.37 EUR/MWh is attributable to the solar energy. Three hypothetical scenarios about the deployment of new solar power plants are construed. Results indicate that proliferation of such plants would increase the merit-order effect and make solar energy less competitive even if possible decrease in costs of generation is taken into account. Thus the thesis’ conclusions do not support solar energy as the reasonable choice in the Czech Republic. In the last part, the effect of photovoltaic output on the system imbalance is examined. Solar production has the influence on the magnitude of the system imbalance but the decisive evidence about the impact on the volatility is not found. |
