Energy consumption in society, of which we are all an active part, grows considerably year after year, gradually decreasing the natural energy resources available in danger of being depleted. On the other hand, the current energy system based on conventional generation plants (thermal and nuclear) has significant negative impacts on the environment that need to be corrected. These reasons make it necessary to search for new alternative sources of energy that contribute to diversifying the current energy supply so that the increase in consumption can be met while being respectful of the environment.
Renewables are the main reasonable energy alternative today. They are characterized by being inexhaustible and have a reduced environmental impact compared to other energies. In addition, they contribute to local development by enhancing the native resources of the area and constitute a technological commitment to the future as consolidated sources of energy supply.
Photovoltaic solar energy, consisting of the transformation of energy from renewable energies, which we could consider more ecological due to the very low environmental impact it presents and is destined to be one of the energies of the future. Photovoltaic systems are characterized by reducing the emission of pollutants (mainly CO2, NOx and SOx), having reduced maintenance and using an inexhaustible resource, the sun, for their operation.
