THE POTENTIALS OF SOLAR ENERGY IN THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA: CURRENT SITUATION, POSSIBILITIES AND BARRIERS

Although the potential of solar energy in the Republic of Serbia is up to 30% higher than in the countries of the European Union that lead to the implementation of these technologies, the Republic of Serbia is ranked among the countries with the lowest production in the region with the production of 10 MV solar PV capacities. The aim of the paper was to present the current balanced capacities, related to solar PV energy, in the Republic of Serbia and countries in the region. In order to present better the material and conclude why the results in the Republic of Serbia are not better, in the paper are analyzes the possibilities for installing such capacities as well as the barriers that need to be eliminated.
