The paper presents the results of studies of the steady-state operating modes of solar photovoltaic stations. Using the data obtained, it is possible to significantly increase the efficiency of using solar power generating plants and significantly increase the service life of additional equipment. The relevance of this study is due to the increasing demand for low-power electric power systems, as well as for renewable energy technologies. For the research, materials were taken from relevant international departments and agencies, the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation. In addition, the sources of data are publications and studies of Russian and foreign scientists on the issues under study. The Federal Law No. 35-FZ “On Electricity”, adopted in December 2019 by the State Duma of the Russian Federation, introduces such a concept as “Micro-generation facility”, thereby simplifying the possibility of installing, connecting to the general network of an electrical system, for example, a small solar power plant (SPP) consumer. Small-scale electric power industry at this stage of its life is an energy-efficient tool in the restructuring of the energy sector of the Russian Federation, contributing to the abandonment of the traditional centralized system based on the use of large sources of electric power production, and the transition to alternative methods of generating electricity based on the use of energy sources, updated for specific natural conditions and requests of potential consumers. Reducing pollutants and emissions that are harmful to human health can reduce the level of the existing burden on the country's economy and give an impetus to the development of its potential due to the freed up resources. reduce the burden on the economy, thereby freeing up resources for its growth. Of course, the transition from traditional economic models to the model of “green growth” can be realized only if significant efforts are made to expand international cooperation in this area. At the same time, there is a need for consistent implementation of events at various levels on the part of all states, as well as maintaining the chosen political course for many years.
