Energy demand of photovoltaic (PV) systems is an important part of energy sustainability of PV systems. PV systems are considered sustainable energy systems when the produced energy is higher than needed. his paper is using financial learning curve concepts to determine energy demand of main PV modules and systems. General PV module and PV system energy learning curves are calculated by weighting energy demand of different PV systems according to their share in PV market. Additionally the contribution of module efficiency into energy reduction is considered. Energy payback time (EPBT) and energy return on investment (EROI) in 2010 and 2020 are calculated via energy learning rate.
