The ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter/sub-millimeter Array) is the large interferometer that will consist up to 64 high-precision antennas operating in the 31.3 - 950 GHz frequency range. In this range unique observations in cosmology, cold universe, galaxies, stars and their formations, and so on are expected. Among these objectives there is a unique possibility to observe the Sun and to address outstanding issues of solar physics. The ALMA is shortly described and then the new ESO-ALMA European node (ARC) built at Ondřejov Observatory is presented. The new ARC is the only one in Europe oriented to solar physics. The requirements and limitations for ALMA solar observations, as well as some examples of possible solar-oriented ALMA projects, are mentioned.
