We propose a novel method for optical properties calculation of very large and complex- shaped systems of metal nanoparticles having size of the order of 10 nm. The method is based on the volume integral equation that describes the electromagnetic scattering. In the numerical algorithm, the generalized minimal residual method is used to enlarge the domain of the applicability of the method.
