Sažetak
The paper presents detailed comparison of solar energy potentials and cost-benefit analysis of installing photovoltaic power systems in Pannonian parts of Croatia and Serbia. Feed-in tariff systems for incitement the electricity production from on- grid photovoltaic power systems and the resulting benefits on one side to the current investment and the projected life-time operation and maintenance cost on the other side, have been compared. PVGIS – PhotoVoltaic Geographical Information System have been used for data on solar irradiation and calculation of expected electricity production from PV systems with rated power up to 10 kW, 30 kW, 300 kW and over 300 kW (according to the different feed- in tariffs in Croatia). The results indicate substantial differences in PV markets development in Croatia and Serbia and the necessity to improve feed- in tariffs and legislation in Serbia in order to make the installation of PV systems feasible
