Abstract:The article presents the use of photovoltaic installation in a building with office space and a section for kindergarten to support the production of electricity using solar energy. Accepted technological installation solution, capital expenditures to be incurred for the project and payback time are shown. Paper presents the results of the performance simulation of the PV system adopted depending on the angle of photovoltaic panels. Designed photovoltaic installation consists of 62 panels with a total nominal power of 15.5 kW. The use of photovoltaics in the facility allow reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by approximately 52%. In Poland, most of the electricity produced is still based on coal and lignite. Photovoltaics is one of the renewable sources of energy, so-called "Green" energy. The investment could be made thanks to the Regional Operational Programme Podlaski, Activity 5.2 Development of local infrastructure, environmental protection 2007-2013.

Abstract. To configure a photovoltaic solar energy production plant the circumstances of a site play an important role. A site usually consists a number of specific locations that can be considered ideal (no shadow, perfect southward position, optimal vertical angle). However, much more often locations in a site are not ideal, to an extent that both depends on time of the year and time of the day. An important issue for decision making then is how much loss in efficiency a specific location will entail. In this paper this is analysed by an agent-based simulation method. Here photovoltaic modules with microinverters are conceptualised as autonomous energy producing agents, which are monitored by a central monitoring agent which also interacts with a user via a local and a global Web-based interface agent. The presented approach provides an analysis of the different locations at a site by simulating the agents over one full year with time steps of half an hour per day. The outcome of such a simulation provides an overview of the loss of efficiency for each of the locations depending on its characteristics with respect to shadow, orientation and vertical angle.

“…Also it is the cleanest of all the renewable energy type. The power from sun intercepted by the earth is about 1.8 × 1011 MW, which is many times larger than the present quantity of all the world energy consumption [1]. Presently, photovoltaic technology is one of the most effective transformations of solar to electric energy, but it still has to be improved.…”

The strategy for developing and improving the application of green, clean, renewable and gratis solar energy is a challenge for multidisciplinary teams of scientists. Exquisite examples of positive world practice of the largest solar power plants are presented in this paper, with all the characteristics, starting from the materials of photovoltaic panels and technical performance to the cost and financial benefits. The aim was to analyze the development of solar technologies in the function of defining further perspectives. The techno economic feasibility of the strategic orientation towards solar energy has been demonstrated in the model of the solar power plant, carried out by experiment, profitability calculation and multi-criteria analysis. The conclusion is that long-term financial and holistic benefits can be achieved by investing in solar power plants.
