The solar energy industry has been a hot topic of late. Now that global warming is widely recognized to be a very serious environmental issue, many people believe that solar power will be a big part of the solution. Solar panel installations around the world have already been growing at a rapid pace and that trend is expected to continue in the foreseeable future. Governments around the world have instituted a variety of policies, including feed in tariffs, in order to support solar energy growth, and companies continue to invest billions of dollars in more efficient solar PV and thermal technologies. Solar electricity provides a number of benefits that other clean technologies simply cannot claim, and it is becoming increasingly likely that we will depend on solar energy for our future electricity needs.
