“…From the view of the whole area, depending on the season, the values of captured solar energy are at the level of 850-1300 kWh/m 2 /year [40]. However, the data on the areal energy density of the total radiation from the sun is not the only significant data because the following climatic factors are also considered when designing the systems [42][43][44][45][46]: One of the most important indicators of investment in a solar system is the investment costs and the return on the invested costs. In Azerbaijan, the efficiency of using solar energy was also estimated based on its economic potential, as there is a potential to meet most of the energy needs of the country with solar energy.…”

The study deals with the analysis of data from a selected tourism facility and the implementation of a solar system and a rainwater system, which are an alternative to commonly used energy sources. The objective is to evaluate the potential savings from the use of the solar system for water heating and the rainwater system for purposes other than potable use with respect to local conditions of sunlight and rainwater variability. The facility holds 257 beds allocated in 124 rooms on 5 floors. The result of the contribution is an economic evaluation of the efficiency of investments in the proposed systems and the resulting recommendations in the field of energy flows in the selected facility. Appropriate formulas including the consumption of hot water, the amount of energy needed to heat water, the cost of the consumed energy necessary for heating and the average annual rainfall in the location, water consumption for clearly identified purposes of alternation with rainwater, the initial investment costs and operating costs of the solar and rainwater systems, were used for an economic evaluation of the investment into the solar and rainwater systems. Based on the economic evaluation, the economic efficiency of the proposed systems and the return on investment was calculated. The payback periods for the solar system used for hot water heating and the rainwater system used for non-potable purposes, accepting the local conditions, are 7 and 15 years, respectively.
