Energy demand is on a constant rise due to increasing population and further industrialization, at the same time fossil fuel reserves are diminishing. The present global demand of finding solutions for the climate change is today’s problem that will influence tomorrow. Through the forces of nature we are enabled to have a security and supply and sustainable electricity generation, thus we see nature as the only solution of today’s energy problem.
Bringing a photovoltaic farm to life is a laborious and time consuming process, involving a great amount of resources.
Insolation map shows solar potential areas of Romania. The potential is calculated as annual average of sum of daily values of global radiation at the optimum tilt angle and orientation south.
In the process of developing the map of insolation, the studies regarding land forms shading were taken into account, as can be seen. In terms of solar potential, taking account of existing land-forms, the areas with the best ratio of efficiency are:
- Dobrogea, with the maximum potential in the northern area of Constanta County and Tulcea County
– maximum irradiation: 1600 KWh/m2/year; – minimum irradiation: 1400 KWh/m2/year;- East Muntenia, with maximum potential in the Counties of Ialomita, Buzau, Calarasi and Prahova;
- Center of Transylvania, with maximum potential in the counties of Cluj and Salaj;
- Southern and Eastern Moldova, with maximum potential in the Neamt, Vrancea, Galati and Braila counties;
- Oltenia with a maximum potential of 1400 KWh/m2/year irradiation;
