The paper presents the results of theoretical research on the resource potential of solar energy calculated by different methods for administrative areas of the Carpathian region; The advanced methodology of the estimation of the influence of solar power plants on the natural environment is proposed, which concerns the determination of the significance of the residual effects of renewable energy on the environment and is carried out after screening and mitigation measures and is based on the three identified parameters of influence: spatial, temporal and intensity of influence. The results of statistical analysis of observational data of meteorological stations of the studied region are presented. The results of experiments that study are dependent on power generation by photovoltaic panels from meteorological elements of weather conditions; It is proved that the amount of energy received significantly depends on the cloudiness and air humidity. At the same time, it has no direct dependence on atmospheric pressure and wind speed indices. The paper presents the results of the cartographic processing of quantitative indicators of the potential of solar energy for the arrangement of the objects providing renewable energy in the Carpathian region of Ukraine.
