Abstract
To insure a healthy and prosperous world for us and future generations, the world cannot rely on fossil fuels as its only source of energy. Volatile oil prices, energy crises, and the deteriorating environment make it necessary that mankind look for cleaner and more stable fuels that we can rely on. Photovoltaics represent a vital source of energy that is reliable, economic, and safe to the environment. Photovoltaic systems represent an attractive option to many utilities in developing and developed countries.
