ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE USE OF SOLAR ENERGY FOR THERMAL AND ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN THE CITY OF NIS

Summary/Abstract: The world is facing the depletion of natural fuels such as coal and natural gas for electricity generation and the increasing demand for electricity. In this situation, everyone is looking for unconventional, renewable energy resources such as solar and wind energy, etc. The Earth receives solar energy in the form of solar radiation, which contains ultraviolet, visible and infrared radiation. The amount of solar radiation that reaches any location depends on several factors such as geographical location, time of day, season, volume of land, and local time. The Republic of Serbia, compared to other European countries, has an average of 40% higher solar radiation during the year, while Nis, Kursumlija and Vranje have the highest potential for the use of solar energy in southern Serbia. Since the city of Nis belongs to the group of cities in Serbia that have the highest potential for solar energy use, the subject of this paper will be the economic and environmental aspects of using solar energy to generate thermal and electrical energy on the territory of the city of Nis.
