Abstract :
The electricity produced by PV generators offers huge advantage to be neither polluting nor hazardous to health. It is virtually inexhaustible and available where demand for energy exists. This makes the practical use of PV electricity be limited to the initial investment in PV generators, waste storage and conditioning of electric power. The proposed application can increase the energy efficiency of the photovoltaic panels, in mountain areas, snow covered for a large number of days out of the year, which will allow the superior use of the energy potential of Romania.
