Abstract. One of the most important challenges for the effec­tive use of solar energy is the best choice of location and direction of solar panels. This problem becomes especi­ally important in mountain valleys with complex terrain and with high tourism potential. The mathematical mo­del proposed in this paper, and a software package de­veloped for this model by using a 3D terrain model sol­ves this problem.
