Summary/Abstract: Solar energy can be used in large areas in Romania, particularly in regions of south, south-east and south-west of the country. Taking into account the weather-solar conditions in Romania, the use of this form of energy is cost-efficient for both domestic heating, or for obtaining domestic hot water. The solar receptors run within time interval from March to October, with good yield and requiring relatively reduced investment. It is also expected the obtaining of electrical energy from the solar photovoltaic stations, but in this case investments will be much larger. Granting of green certificates, as legal rights for investors and/or of subsidies, facilitates both Romanian and foreign investments in this energetic field. Thus, Romania will be fitted over the next few years in the European Union directives for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
