Today more than ever, the issues of environmental pollution and of changes in global climate are front page problems in both economic and ecological terms, to which solutions must promptly be found.
Carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by man (due to the use of fossil fuels) are the main causes responsible for global warming.

For this reason, the United Nations approved the Kyoto protocol, which aims at stabilising the concentrations of greenhouse effect gases in the atmosphere in order to protect the global climatic system. The European Directive for renewable energy sources permitted the approval in Italy of a new system of incentive energy rates, “Conto Energia”, for the generation of electricity using photovoltaic plants, including small installations.

Photovoltaic technology makes it possible to transform solar power directly and instantly into electricity without using any fuel. It exploits what is commonly referred to as the "photoelectric effect", i.e. the capacity of certain semiconductors to generate electricity when exposed to light rays. The average life span of a plant is approximately 25-30 years.

Installing a photovoltaic plant becomes economically feasible with the “Conto Energia” financial incentives. On the world market, the photovoltaic solar power sector continues its unstoppable growth at an average rhythm of 30-40% each year and an increasing number of companies, private individuals and public authorities are deciding to invest in this technology.
