Взгляд на альтернативные источники электроэнергии со стороны

Abstract

The needs of the population and industry in electricity increases, and oil and gas reserves are limited and depleted. This leads to the need to use renewable energy sources. Conversion of solar radiation into electricity can be carried out in two main ways: photothermal (conversion of light energy into heat, and then, if necessary, into electrical) and photoelectric (direct conversion of light energy into electrical). According to the forecasts of the European Association of Photovoltaic Industry (EPIA), solar energy will replace oil and nuclear energy in the future.
