Abstract
Energy use in a human community increases to a great extent where these are of a natural population increase. On another hand, technology advances very fast and fuel has an important role in the technological society. Air pollution during burning fuel to create energy forces the human community to look for a new source of energy. The new source must not be finite and must not make air pollution. This source is solar energy. In this educational initiative a model of a solar village, which uses only solar energy, is built. This project turns the school into an agreeable place and makes pupils like to come to it.
