During the last few years, the use of solar power has grown dramatically all around the world. Part of the reason for this growth is better education about the benefits and applications of solar. In Spain, the government is asking all new residential homes and commercial buildings to use solar energy.
Solar makes it possible to generate enough power to keep a home heated up as well as provide the home with a constant supply of hot water. The real problem is that solar power technology has not been developed to an extent where it can provide a truly economical solution.
Efficient solar energy technologies will constantly be developed. Even in small ways such as backyard solar lighting, companies are innovating and improving solar products. Hopefully the sun will be shining for an eternity and we can turn our attention to capturing its endless output of energy that can help save this planet from environmental pollution.
