PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY

Industrialized countries (greater energy consumers) have been experimenting with
energy-saving methods and the reduction of pollutant levels for many years thanks to
the energy-conversion process. This may be possible through a shrewd and rational
consumption of well-known resources, and also by looking for new forms of clean and
non-exhaustible energy.
Regenerating sources of energy are fundamental to solve this problem. Under these
circumstances, solar energy exploitation to generate electrical (photovoltaic) energy is
becoming more and more important worldwide.
Photovoltaic energy, in any case, is of great advantage to the environment because the
radiated energy we receive from the sun is transformed directly into electrical energy
without any combustion process and without producing any pollution.
