This thesis identifies the obstacles in efficient modelling of interaction of plasma and solid surfaces. It presents an enhanced method of solving the Poisson equation optimized to meet the requirements of the Particle-in-Cell modelling approach. A number of applications are discussed, including models of the plasma-facing wall of the nuclear fusion device, tokamak, and its interaction with particle fluxes driven by the intrinsic magnetic field. Another area of applications covers the modelling of plasma probes deployed to diagnose properties of plasma in various experiments. The thesis also includes the computer library code and instructions enabling a rapid use of the Poisson solver method in a third party computer code which implements the PIC approach in a compatible manner.
