Abstract: The paper describes the basics of converting solar energy into electricity. Furthermore, the application possibilities of solar energy conversion according to insolation maps of eastern Croatia are analyzed. The positive and some negative experiences in the construction of photovoltaic (PV) power plants in Slavonia and Baranja are notified. Cooperation of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in Osijek and Solar Projects Ltd, one of the leading companies in Croatia in the field of solar power plants, began with the first non-integrated PV power plant on the ground SEG1, rated power of 30 kW. This was followed by the rapid development of the company Solar Projects Ltd. in the field of design, construction and maintenance of PV power plants. Until today, the company has performed more than 70 projects of the solar power plants with various rated power, from smaller 10 kW, 30 kW up to high rated power such as 120 kW, 180 kW and 300 kW PV power plants. In this paper, the total electricity produced from these PV power plants so far, as well as significant savings in carbon emission due to electricity produced using solar energy are shown. Furthermore, application of modern ICT and web technologies for distance measuring, monitoring and diagnostics of PV power plants, and technical specifications and diagrams of power production for a typical PV power plant are presented.
