Abstract: In 2012 and 2013, solar energy has become the most important source of renewable energy in the European Union, whose main role is to produce electric power. Business models in the solar energy field, as well as the perception on the legal context, that is a major source of influence for the companies in the field, have been a main subject of debate in Romania and the European Union, but have not been scientifically researched. The purpose of this paper is to develop a comparative study on the situation of business models in the Romanian field of solar energy, between the years 2013 and 2014, as well as the development of photovoltaic industry forecasts in Romania in the coming years. In order to perform this study, we used the method of Delphi based on questionnaires and interviews with experts in this field of activity. This study is a continuation of the research carried out last year (Tantau et al., 2014) and illustrate the major changes in the Romanian field of photovoltaic energy, after modifying the law No. 220/2008 by Emergency Ordinance of the Romanian Government No. 57/2013 and the appearance of Decision of the Government No. 994/2013. The study treats the new directions in the field of photovoltaic energy in Romania representing the basic pylon of the future trends of business models in the photovoltaic industry, that were not previously provided in the scientific literature.
