Let's take the examples of the following:
1. Solar Energy
It’s estimated that in 2017 1,6% of the worldwide generated energy came from solar sources. At the same time, solar power also contributed to 20% of the total energy growth in this same year. (Youmatter.world). This type of renewable energy comes directly from the capture of solar radiation. Here, the solar radiation is absorbed by specific sensors and rebroadcasted following 2 possible operation modes:
Capturing sun rays and directly converting them into energy through photovoltaic solar panels;
Capturing, collecting and turning the sunlight into heat that warms up water or air.
The possible barriers will be the following:
- The availability of construction and conservation structures for solar plants.
- The training and cost of installations for proper utilisation.
