Solar energy is one of the newest and friendliest ways to obtain energy, being a new way to fight against the increasing of pollution by everyday urban activities, but also against increasingly threatening climate change. Still in an early stage of development, solar energy is gaining ground for the public energy sector, not just for private businesses or private homes, which translates into an increasing number of photovoltaic panels in the areas where solar radiation has high values, and solar energy has the potential to be an supplement for the energy circuit of urban centers or even a substitute. In the area of the Romanian coast, the solar radiation is extremely high, which translates into a huge solar potential, but also through a high degree of success for the implementation projects of this type of energy. The central objective of the study is to identify the potential of solar energy and opinions from locals about a landscape filled with photovoltaic pannels, while the central goal of the study is to raise awareness of the need to promote renewable energy and and to embrace the beauty of the sustainable development of renewable energy, regardless of the impact on the landscape.
