Fusions that occur in the center of the sun create energy after being released. These rays reflect on the solar panels and try to collect the energy at a single point. Heat is collected through collectors and converted- ed into electricity. The heating and electricity generation obtained from the sun is thus reflected on the panels.
This system is used in automobiles, street lighting, generators, hot water, and many other areas. Thanks to the efficiency obtained from renewable energy sources, large countries accelerated their investments in this field. European Union countries have started to establish common areas in order to invest in this area. Support organizations were established for the implementation of new technologies. Special zones have been started to be established in Turkey regarding this issue.
When an evaluation is made regarding the solar energy usage rates in the world, it is seen that Germany ranks first again. Italy follows the country, which provides solar energy to a large part of its population, with an energy production of 40,000 MW. This Italian country, where the number of sunny days is very high, has turned this situation into an opportunity. The annual energy production of 18,600 MW has now enabled the system to become widespread throughout the country. In particular, it is seen that this system is given weight in order to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. In third place is Japan. 13,700 MW of energy production is also used in factories across the country. Another Mediterranean country is Spain, which ranks next on the list. The country’s government, which wants to increase the production of 4,214, supports people who will invest in this field. The United States of America is in 5th place on the list.
As seen in the use of solar energy in the world, it is an area that attracts great attention and investment. This trend is expected to continue.
