This target can be reached also by exploiting alternative and renewable energy sources to back up and reduce the use of the fossil fuels, which moreover are doomed to run out because of the great consumption by several countries. The Sun is certainly a high potential source for renewable energy and it is possible to turn to it in the full respect of the environment. Just think that instant by instant the surface of the terrestrial hemisphere exposed to the Sun gets a power exceeding 50 thousand TW; the quantity of solar energy which reaches the terrestrial soil is enormous, about 10 thousand times the energy used all over the world. RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES Among the different systems using renewable energy sources, photovoltaics is promising due to the intrinsic qualities of the system itself: it has very reduced service costs (fuel is free of charge) and limited maintenance requirements, it is reliable, noiseless and quite easy to install. Moreover, photovoltaics, in some grid-off applications, is definitely convenient in comparison with other energy sources, especially in those...
