SOLAR
The Sun, source of life and origin of other forms of energy that man has used since the dawn of history, can meet all our needs, if we learn how to make a rational light continuously pours on the planet. Has shone in the sky for about five billion years, and is estimated to have not yet reached even half of its existence. This year, the sun casts on the earth four thousand times more energy than we consume.
It should, however, noted that there are some problems that we face and overcome. Apart from the difficulties that would lead to advanced solar energy policy itself must be borne in mind that this power is subject to continuous fluctuations and more or less abrupt. For example, solar radiation is lower in winter, usually just when they most need.
The "solar cells", arranged in solar panels and produce electricity in the first space satellites. Currently emerging as the ultimate solution to the problem of rural electrification, with a clear advantage over other alternatives because, lacking panels moving parts, are totally impervious to the passage of time, do not pollute or cause any noise at all, do not consume fuel and maintenance free. Furthermore, although with less efficiency, also work on cloudy days, since they capture the light filtering through the clouds.
solar energy can be perfectly complemented with other conventional energy to avoid the need for large and expensive storage systems. Thus, a well-insulated house can have solar heating and hot water, with the support of a conventional gas or electrical work only during periods without sun. The cost of "energy bill" would be only a fraction of that achieved without the existence of the solar system.
