Solar Energy for Cottage Construction

The article is devoted to the study of the process of solar energy conversion and selection of the optimal design of a photovoltaic solar system for an individual cottage located in the city of Taganrog, Rostov region. The use of renewable energy sources in the private sector is relevant due to the following problems: frequent interruptions in the supply of electricity due to the low category of power supply, losses of electricity due to wear and tear of networks, the use of power consumption restrictions for territories of the private sectors. Thus, a properly selected system for using an alternative energy source in a certain area with its climatic and landscape characteristics can become a solution to the above problems, as well as one of the elements of a regional strategy, which determines relevance of the chosen research topic.
