Description
Summary:Heavy consumption and high demand of fossil fuels are the main driving forces causing a rapid decline for these resources. Not only that, the usage of these fuels had also generated much public outcry due to the side-effects brought along with it. To reduce the dependency of fossil fuels, much attention has been brought towards the field of renewable energy resources. One of the most promising alternatives was solar energy. With technological advancement and reduction in manufacturing cost for solar products throughout the years, global market demand for such energy has been growing constantly and steadily. Global revenue for solar industry alone is expected to generate beyond $96.8 billion by 2014.
