Global warming (also known as the greenhouse effect), which according to most of the world’s scientific researchers is believed to be created by humans, is largely a result of the use of fossil fuels on Earth.
The harmful CO2 emissions created by fossil fuels, and the government’s desire to free itself from dependency from the current oil and gas producing countries, has created an emphasis on the development and deployment of alternative energy sources such as wind, hydro, solar energy and biomass etc.
Solar energy is the main source of free energy. The daily solar radiation on Earth is ap-proximately 600 times higher than the total energy consumed daily on the planet, hence the enormous resources that have been dedicated to harness this infinite source of en-ergy over the past decades.
Solar energy is now a well-known and proven alternative energy source. That is why it is one of the fastest growing alternative energy sources – good for the planet and good for the environment.
