Nowadays we are faced with various challenges. One of them is global warming, which
we want to solve successfully with renewable energy sources. With the new Act on the
Promotion of the Use of Renewable Energy Sources, which was adopted in Slovenia
in 2021, more and more individuals and companies are oriented towards sustainable
development.
In this thesis, I have focused on solar energy, which is the leading renewable energy
source, because it is emission-free and inexhaustible. I have focused on small self-sufficient solar power plants. Investing in a solar power plant contributes to
environmental protection, cost reduction and sustainable operation of society. A solar
power plant is a system that converts solar energy (the energy of the sun's rays) into
electrical energy.
In this thesis, I presented solar energy, the construction of a self-sufficient solar power
plant, its advantages and disadvantages, and the planning of the solar power plant
(calculation of electricity consumption, roof potential, and component selection). I
analysed the amount of electricity produced per month in 2022 and the impact of
weather conditions, how much electricity we consumed directly from the solar power
plant and the efficiency of its operation.
