Abstract Due to the massive usage of energy, there is a rapid depletion of energy resources. Because of the urgent need for energy, many countries are moving in the direction of developing and introducing new sources of energy, especially renewable energy. One of the most abundant and inexhaustible renewable energy source is solar energy. All over the world, there are more than seventy countries that are researching on the problems with utilizing solar energy. The development is especially faster in the technologically advanced countries. The uses are wider as well, such as industrial usage, farming, uses in transportation systems, communications, medical and health industries, aeronautics and everyday living within the home. Taiwan, compared to other countries in the mid and high latitudes, has enough exposure to sunlight and is worth developing solar energy. However, there are some set back in the amount of solar radiation that can be utilized. Some of these set backs are low density of energy source that is affected by cycles of day and night, the seasons of the years, and changes in weather that causes the inconveniences due to the changes in the amount of time in which solar radiation can be collected. The amount of day light exposure received in Taiwan is generally greater in the south west plains and Herng-Chuen area. Because of more sunny days due to less cloud blockage, but because of the amount of surface area is not great enough, solar energy suits the needs of home and farm usage, but for industry or generators, solar energy collecting equipments in bigger scale is a must. In the solar energy collectors that are already in use, whether it be the focal point collectors or the flat board collectors, there is the problem of heat and energy temperature loss In the area of sun tracking, there are both positive and negative areas in the different collectors. Another big problem area is not being able to easily lower the cost of special installation of the collectors. This research will first measure the sunlight exposures in Taiwan, then, after the statistical analysis of the data, the different areas will be designated according to the different amount of energy that can be utilized in that area. The analysis of the data will be presented with maps and charts. The research will provide a detailed reference for the net cost of developing the usage of solar energy and the cost of using solar energy along with other energy sources. Keywords: solar energy, amount of sunlight exposure, light energy generating system
