The Inexhaustible Source. Solar Energy
Description
As much energy falls on the Earth's deserts in just six hours as all of mankind consumes in the course of an entire year. Morocco is aiming to become the first country in Africa to invest in solar thermal technology on a large scale. But small, decentralized photovoltaic systems can generate power more efficiently-in countries like Ethiopia or India, for example, where the majority of the people live in rural areas far from any power grid.
