Abstract. In recent years, the construction of solar power plants (SPPs) has accelerated due to the significant reduction in energy costs for their use, as well as the reduction of the load on the central energy grid, and favorable regulatory reforms. The analysis of the energy performance of the SPPs installed in southern Uzbekistan is of great importance in implementing the strategic goals of developing renewable energy sources in the country. This article presents the results of monitoring the winter season of a 100 kW SPP in the city of Termez, located in the southern region of our Republic. The average amount of energy produced by the SPP during this season was 22,885.45 kWh. In addition, the capacity utilization factor (CUF) for the winter season at the SPP was calculated by months, and its average value was found to be 10.59%. According to the results of the study, the main factors that lead to energy loss in the system in winter are: cloudy days, dust contamination of the front surface of solar panels, non-optimal installation of the tilt angle of photovoltaic batteries, and frequent outages in the centralized power grid. The natural conditions of the Surkhandarya region are favorable for the maximum use of solar energy. The development of solar power plants in Surkhandarya is promising from a technical and economic perspective.
