Abstract
Solar photovoltaic systems (PVs) are becoming more popular in Poland, as the country aims to increase its share of renewable energy sources and reduce its dependence on coal. According to the official data the total installed PV capacity in Poland reached 15.6 GW in September 2023 while at the end of 2020 it was 4.1 GW. This situation was caused by many factors, but mainly by government subsidy programs for households and rising electricity prices. A number of photovoltaic installations with a capacity of up to 50 kWp were carried out, although the installation should always be adapted to the needs of a given household. Estimating the yield of solar energy systems is crucial for that. It can be done by several methods, but always as initial step in modelling of solar energy systems weather data, especially solar irradiation is required. To get this data we can arrange the measurement from ground stations or use reanalysis models and satellite-derived datasets. There are several different datasets, both public and commercial, of solar irradiance data ready to use. This data provides insights into the average solar irradiance levels throughout the year, aiding in estimating the energy generation capacity. The paper contributes the knowledge of energy generation capacity that can be quickly counted for a solar PV micro-system with different orientation and inclination as a multiplier of the energy value obtained from a solar PV system of 1 kW-peak for a significant number of locations in Poland based on open-source solar irradiation data
