Abstract
The solar potential of Bulgaria as well as opportunities for its utilisation through both thermal and photovoltaic installations is presented in this paper. The present solar power usage and ideas for energy efficiency and utilisation of renewable energy sources are shown. The fresh water resources of this country are estimated compared with the resources of other European countries and eventual future need of desalination is discussed in the work.
