	Summary:
	The sun's energy that shines on the Earth's surface is plentiful, almost 6,000 times more than the 15 terawatts average how much humanity now consumes. In addition, solar electricity has the greatest power of all renewable energy sources. Solar systems can work for many years, with very little costs for their maintenance after commissioning. So that after the initial investment, operating maintenance costs of solar power is extremely low compared to existing energy sources. Production technology of solar panels are increasingly improved, and as a result offers a large selection of these types of panels, and therefore open opportunities in architectural terms. Examples and experiences of other countries show that countries with poor solar prerequisites of BiH are serious about solar energy. Also, economic indicators are favorable, from the standpoint of reduced electricity consumption. The paper describes the solar system in a family house in the area of Banja Luka, which is used for heating and domestic water. After the installation of solar panels, with ekononomskog standpoint, the owners have reduced power consumption by about 20% compared to conventional heating and hot water heating. It should be noted that the system designs to meet defined needs in the month of December, with the lowest insolation during the year, while in the summer months to provide up to four times greater heat production.
