САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
The research analyses the technological and economic dimensions of developing a modular solar power plant at Maribor district heating facility, including rooftops and parking lots. The main goal is to enhance the company’s energy self-sufficiency, reduce power expenses, and facilitate the shift to renewable energy sources. The research project seeks to enhance energy production by the application of solar photovoltaic technology, ensuring both cost-effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Multiple design and implementation alternatives have been examined utilising the PV*Sol software package, which facilitates comprehensive simulations and performance assessments of solar power systems. The study concentrated on determining the most economically viable configuration, including variables such as energy output, capital expenditures, and operational efficacy. A comparison of various modular system designs was conducted to identify the most effective strategy for scalability and optimal performance.
The legal and regulatory frameworks pertinent to the planning and construction of a solar power plant were examined, including adherence to national and EU energy policies, grid connection stipulations, and accessible financial incentives.
The research has evaluated the long-term economic viability of the project, identified potential risks and problems, and provided the most profitable and sustainable implementation strategy
