The article is devoted to analysing the influence of meteorological conditions on the efficiency of solar panels in Ivano-Frankivsk region. The issue of using solar panels as one of the key sources of alternative energy and the importance of evaluating their effectiveness depending on meteorological conditions were considered. The relationship between various meteorological parameters, such as average air temperature, average precipitation, and average wind speed, and the production of solar electricity were investigated. Using the Pearson method, the correlation coefficients between the specified parameters and solar energy production were determined. As a result, the correlation values were obtained, on the basis of which conclusions were drawn regarding the influence of various factors on the efficiency of solar panels. It is emphasized that when planning the location of small solar power plants, it is important to take into account the average air temperature, since there is a strong positive correlation between it and the production of solar electricity. It is noted that the optimal temperature for the efficient operation of solar panels is +21°C. The article also provides recommendations on taking into account the average wind speed and average precipitation when planning the location of solar power plants, in particular for the tourism industry in Ivano-Frankivsk region. The obtained results can be useful for the development of new technologies and strategies for the use of solar energy in different climatic conditions
