The use of renewable energy sources as an alternative to fossil fuels is increasingly present worldwide. In this context, Romania has committed to increasing the share of solar energy at the national level. This is in line with the European Union's concerns about energy efficiency. The lowland and low hills of the southern and south-eastern parts of the country are the most suitable for such an approach. So is the south part of Prahova county, mainly in the plain unit, which occupies the southern third. Prahova County stands out at the national level by the fact that it holds about 1/10 of all photovoltaic energy. In addition to providing clean energy, photovoltaic (PV) farms have several social and soil implications. Our study focused on the perception of the inhabitants of the areas with photovoltaic farms, related to these implications. For this purpose, we conducted one hundred interviews based on the questionnaire method, applied in over 35 localities in the county. The localities are predominantly rural, but some cities have been included. The results of this survey were statistically processed using IBM SPSS Statistics Subscription. The questionnaire questions were analyzed both individually, by developing frequencies, and in a combined manner, by making correlations. The spatial analysis was design using aerial images with 0.5m spatial resolution, acquired from the National Cartography Center in May 2018. All images have been processed with ArcGIS 10.2.1. As a result of these analyses, we have inventoried the photovoltaic fields in the county in the existing edaphic and geomorphological context and included the results in an updated geodatabase. This socio-economic study could be a guideline point for the Regional Development Plan in the coming years and possibly involved in the Zonal Urban Plans.
