Climate changes as a consequence of the use of fossil fuels are today one of the most critical issues. Renewable energy sources, which are harmless to the environment, present a possible substitute for fossil fuels. The construction of an own solar power plant is becoming more widespread, since the technological development and price reduction have increased the accessibility of its construction. Solar power plants are also popular from the economic perspective due to the generated savings, which I discuss in the Master’s thesis. The purpose of the Master’s thesis is to research those factors that impact the economic efficiency of a small solar power plant as one of the technologies of renewable energy sources. The thesis presents an investment in a small solar power plant for an average household of 4 people based of professional literature and an informative offer of the company Gen-I sonce. The research in the Master’s thesis is referring to the popularity of renewable energy sources among individuals. The primary part of the research in conducted with a survey questionnaire and the secondary part based on professional literature. It includes the level of knowledge about renewable energy sources with emphasis on the investment in a small solar power plant. Based on the obtained data, I found that the investment in a small solar power plant is very popular particularly because of the generated savings, but a little less due to environmental protection, which is mostly due to increased public awareness regarding the issue of climate changes. Based on the survey, price check and possibilities of financing, I found that the investment in a small solar power plant is not conditioned with a higher financial status. The thesis is a good starting point to gain information about renewable energy sources, the investment in a small solar power plant and economic benefits, connected with it, and a good starting point for future researches in the field of investments in solar plants.
