Untapped Power
The amount of solar energy that falls on the earths surface in 20 minutes time is equivalent to the energy needs of the entire world for a year! Well, that says it all! That is how colossal the power of the sun is.
We could power the entire world if we covered just 3,90,000 square kilometers of the earths surface near the equator with solar panels, less than 0.1% of the surface of the earth which is approximately the size of Tamilnadu and Andhra Pradesh put together.
At a time when we are running out of non-renewable sources of energy, solar presents itself as a perennial and inexhaustible source of energy to mankind. In the next decade, it's expected that solar power will be similar in price to traditional sources of electricity and solar panels will be a standard feature in newly constructed homes and commercial buildings.
Rising electricity costs and the urgent need for a more sustainable future has driven the growth of solar technology in the recent years. Solar energy is the greenest and most abundant renewable energy source available. Lets make the most of it!
