Uso da energia solar: uma solução sustentável

Abstract

The growing concern with the conservation of natural resources and the environmental effects caused by the burning of fossil fuels has led to the search for clean and renewable energy sources. In this context, solar energy has emerged as a promising solution for sustainably meeting energy needs, offering several advantages. Therefore, this article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the use of solar energy, addressing the basic principles of the technology, its applications across various sectors, and the environmental, economic, and social benefits associated with its use. Methodologically, the study was based on a bibliographic review and an interview with a businessman who utilizes solar energy. The findings indicate that solar energy contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thereby helping to mitigate global warming and the effects of climate change, ultimately promoting a more sustainable environment.
