โฆ Synopsis
This article concerns the climatological characterization of the Adrano site, where is operating the EURELIOS solar mirror power plant. Meteorological characteristics such as climatic trend of air temperature, wind roses, average monthly values of global radiation, and insolation are presented. In particular, the percentage of solar radiation received at the site has been evaluated with respect to the extraterrestrial radiation and the average daily insolation at Adrano has been compared with that of a nearby station (Catania) for which statistical, long-term estimates exist.

Use of solar energy is of great importance in reducing greenhouse gases emission. Although there are some advances in solo solar power systems, the eciencies and costs of these systems are not so attractive. This paper presents a new approach for solar power utilization, i.e. using solar heat to rep
