Due to
the rapid progress of technology more and more countries and individuals are integrating
power
sources based on solar
energy
.
While
the lack of productivity of contemporary infrastructure dedicated to transforming solar
power
is low, the tendency to shift to alternative
power
sources is beneficial for the environment and the Global economy. I will try to extend my thoughts in the next paragraphs. The efficiency of solar panels has significantly increased in recent decades as modern industries are supplying suitable materials for these purposes. Contrary to the beginning of the 20th century when only 4% of received
energy
transformed into usable, nowadays, the rate increased up to 50%.
In other words
, It becomes practicable to invest and install equipment, even without concerns regarding the environment which, unfortunately, is not the prerogative for the most part of the World.
However
, there is a long way to improve the quality of tools in order to persuade

rationality to use solar
power
. Doubtfully, countries with developed economies and raising concerns about the effect of industries on the environment are steps forward in
this
issue.
For instance
, some countries in Europe are planning to transform 50% of the industry and household
energy
consumption to renewable sources and 30% is
energy
from the Sun. The other positive impact is reduced deforestation as the panels are mainly made of composite materials and are totally recyclable. If I got right, there are intentions to cover about 10% of the Sahara desert as
this
area will satisfy the needs of the Global industries.
Moreover
, these actions would lead to a decreased average temperature as exceeded heat would be reflected into the space.
To conclude
, the
power
of the Sun is a prominent gift of the Univers that our modern civilization has to learn to use. Despite the fact of being inefficient in past it is the most reliable and safe for all humankind to concentrate on solar
energy
