Abstract: In response to increasing energy demands, driven by the constant need for energy commodities, a strategic shift towards adopting alternative renewable energy is today's reality. In pursuit of enhancing the efficacy of renewable energy production, with a primary focus on solar energy, the idea of using mineral exploitation fields as prospective domains for solar power plant deployment has emerged. These sites span from tens to hundreds of hectares and are presenting opportune terrains for the installation of large-scale solar infrastructure. To underscore the potential for multifunctional spatial utilization and the augmentation of solar energy integration, this research undertakes a comprehensive analysis encompassing legislative frameworks and technological modalities governing the integration of solar power facilities within exploitation fields. Drawing upon this analysis, different variants and models for solar power plant installation are presented.
