Abstract: Using solar energy in Romania, not only in Prahova County, presents great development perspectives. Solar energy is considered a primary energy source, free and safe, an investment recoverable in record time and satisfactory to the investor and has countless technological applications, such as the production of electricity and heat, irrigation etc. Also, use of solar energy contributes to: saving conventional energy resources; reduction of environmental pollution; helps to reduce the costs of obtaining electricity; provides partially in most cases or completely energy independence of the user etc. Following investigations was confirmed that it we receive from the Sun in about one hour – the energy consumption for a year of the whole planet, so solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface is higher than global energy needs.
