The volumes of electricity produced and the reduction of CO2 emissions at photovoltaic stations operating in the regions of Russia at the beginning of 2022 were evaluated and analyzed. The Republic of Kalmykia and Altai were singled out, which have the largest shares of solar electricity in the energy balances, 35.7 and 23.2%, respectively. The problems of assessing the natural resource risks of using solar resources in the Russian Federation in connection with the climatic zoning of the territory are considered. The authors propose a method for assessing the degree of risk of using solar resources based on calculating the characteristics of the variability of solar radiation on the earth’s surface, assessing and mapping the level of natural resource risks. The levels of resource risks in the development of solar energy for the Orenburg and Astrakhan regions, leaders in the development of solar energy in Russia, were assessed.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">На основе характеристик современного состояния использования возобновляемых источников энергии (ВИЭ) в мире и в России рассмотрена роль гелиоэнергетики в решении одной из актуальных проблем развития современного общества - энергоперехода к использованию низкоуглеродных энергоисточников. Оценены и проанализированы и объемы произведенной электроэнергии и снижения выбросов СО2 на фотоэлектрических станциях, работающих в регионах России на начало 2022 г. Выделены Республика Калмыкия и Алтай, имеющие наибольшие доли солнечной электроэнергии в энергобалансах - 35,7 и 23,2 % соответственно. Рассмотрены проблемы оценки природно-ресурсных рисков использования гелиоресурсов в Российской Федерации в связи с климатическим районированием территории. Авторами предложена методика оценки степени риска использования солнечных ресурсов на основе расчета характеристик изменчивости поступления солнечной радиации на земную поверхность, оценки и картирования уровня природно-ресурсных рисков. Определены уровни ресурсных рисков развития солнечной энергетики для Оренбургской и Астраханской областей, лидеров по развитию гелиоэнергетики в России.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>renewable energy sources</kwd><kwd>geoinformation technologies</kwd><kwd>solar energy</kwd><kwd>natural resource risks</kwd><kwd>carbon dioxide emission</kwd><kwd>energy transition</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>возобновляемые источники энергии</kwd><kwd>геоинформационные технологии</kwd><kwd>гелиоэнергетика</kwd><kwd>природно-ресурсные риски</kwd><kwd>эмиссия углекислого газа</kwd><kwd>энергопереход</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Kozlova M, Collan M.
