RESOURCES OF SOLAR ENERGY IN THE VALLEY OF the WIDAWA RIVER

The paper analyzed solar radiation resources in the valley of Widawa river on the basis of 64-year (1961–2014) measurement series of global radiation and sunshine duration in the Wrocław-Swojec Observatory (SW Poland). The issues have been presented in comparative and dynamical aspects. They have been compared yearly and monthly radiation sums (of global radiation or sunshine duration) and their extreme and average values with the radiation data from other regions of Poland. The dynamics of variations between the following months, seasons and from year to year were taken into account. Such an analysis is not only calculation of basic actinometrical features of the Wrocław-Swojec area, but also a reliable presentation of average values and variability of solar radiation resources in the valley of Widawa river
