Abstract: Climate change is causing humanity to think increasingly about moving away from traditional energy sources, which are one of the causes of the greenhouse effect. The sun is of particular interest as a source of clean energy. The interest in solar energy causes that increasing number of people start to discuss the need to implement registers that gather information about the energy potential of specific parts of the space we live in. In addition, there is also a talk of simultaneously registering solar energy installations. Since, in the age of globalisation, the compilation of such databases should be standardised, the authors attempt to answer the following research questions in their presentation: (i) what information should be contained in databases that collect information on solar energy generation; (ii) what functionality should tool for recording and sharing this data have? These were answered by reviewing and analysing solutions worldwide.
