One of the top targets for European Union (EU) is to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As energy demand grows, its primary sources, like fossil fuel, start to overcrowd consumption. The renewable energy source integration in different sectors ensures the replacement of fossil fuel. Integration of solar energy is one of the possibilities to decrease environmental pollution and increase a share of renewable energy in final energy consumption. At the seaside town of Latvia, in the Salacgriva district, is place to the first largest solar panels park in the Baltics, also known as the «Saules darzs». The use of solar energy in solar park is considered as an example of good practice in the field of environmentally friendly technologies. The solar plant total capacity is 40 kW for electricity consumption. Produced electricity is used for the power supply of the Information Center and the pub, while the surplus of electricity is introduced into the distribution network of «AS Sadales tikls». It was expected that solar plant will produce 58 MWh of electricity during the year, but results show that solar plant producing average 45 MWh yearly. Due to this solar power plant, the amount of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere will decrease by 23.03 tones.
