PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY

In the energy transformation process, industrial companies (the greatest energy
consumers) have for many years now, been experimenting with ways of saving
energy and lowering pollutant emissions through the prudent and rational
consumption of known resources, and have been searching for new forms of clean
and inexhaustible energy.
Renewable energy sources provide a fundamental contribution to solving the
problem. In this context, the exploitation of solar energy to generate electrical
energy (photovoltaic) is becoming more and more important across the world.
Photovoltaic energy is a great advantage in terms of environmental protection, as
the solar radiation that we receive from the sun is directly transferred into electrical
energy without involving any form of combustion, and without producing waste
products which would pollute the environment.
