The report presents a new initiative for the development of a network of ground-based stations for solar observations in the optical range. Three separate locations in Bulgaria have installed instrumentation for solar dedicated observations. The currently used telescopes (type, mounting, guiding systems) and designated filters (white-light, H-alpha) are described in detail. Test images are also included. Future plans for improvements are briefly discussed.
