PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY

Industrialised countries (greater energy consumers) have been experimenting with
energy-saving methods and reducing pollutant levels. This may be possible through a
shrewd and rational consumption of well-known resources, and also by looking for
new forms of clean and in exhaustible energy.
Renewable sources of energy are fundamental to solving this problem. Under these
circumstances, solar energy exploitation to generate electrical (photovoltaic) energy is
becoming more and more important worldwide.
Photovoltaic energy is, in any case, 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.
