In 1990, the world’s primary energy was provided by oil (34%) and will remain the world’s main source of energy for many years to come, even under the most optimistic of assumptions about the development of alternative technology. However, the sources of oil, the cost of producing it and the prices that users will have to pay for it are extremely uncertain. Then, people study on renewable energy.
One of them is Energy from the sun. Because the technology of transforming solar energy into electrical energy that is convenient and easy to use and long lifetime. Not require much maintenance. Available in all locations that have sufficient light from the sun.
As well as the energy production process is environmentally friendly and clean. The costs of renewable-energy technologies are different by location. Solar technologies are more economical in the sun-drenched tropics,
In fact, solar technologies are over 5 times cheaper per kilowatt-hour for most developing countries. What might look a distinctly unpromising technology to a pessimist on a rainy day in northern Europe is highly promising where 5 billion of the world’s population live, and where energy demands are growing fastest. There is already a fast growing market in the developing world for applications that use the Sun for water pumping, lighting and health clinics, and as a back-up for grid supplies and to supplement peak loads. Solar applications also avoid the capital expenditures on – and losses in – transmitting and distributing electricity, which account for about 50% of the costs of electricity supply in urban areas and over 75% in rural areas and towns.
