GEOGRAPHY AND SOLAR ENERGY UTILIZATION

Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2009, Vol 49, Issue 1

Abstract

Nowadays, the questions of energetic safety are frequently discussed issues. One of the possibilities is the diversification of production of energy with more utilization of renewable energy sources (RES). The most perspective is the utilization of solar energy directly in urban areas, typical for their biggest demand for energy. It is obvious that application of solar systems is dependent on qualitative analyses concerning a variety of relevant questions (amount of energy falling down to surface, atmospheric influences, economical questions etc.) Therefore many sciences deal with energetic utilization of solar energy. This paper tries to find the position of geography in energetic utilization of solar radiation.
