Currently, around the world there is an acute question of the new energy sources’ development and implementation. It is known that the most significant of them today are oil, natural gas, coal, electricity. Oil and gas reserves are not unlimited. It is necessary to look for the alternative sources of energy [4, 5, 6, 14]. This is due not only to a shortage of basic energy resources, but to the increasing cost of their extraction and processing, as well as to an aggravation of the environmental situation in the world [1]. In search of the new sources of energy, people are increasingly turning to solar panels. This is an excellent replacement for the generators of various types, some of which may be slightly functional or potentially dangerous for a private house. The solar energy has been known for a long time, it is a subject of debate and discussion among the specialists. Some people think that this is a great prospect for the future, others are sure of the opposite, since on the one hand, solar panels do not require expenses for their operation, but the cost of this equipment is high. Some experts claim that the profit from this project will not be able to cover the costs associated with construction. In contrast, these devices can work for tens and hundreds of years, therefore, with long-term operation, the profit will be obvious [4, 5, 6, 11, 14].
