Vision
Solarcentury is in business for a purpose: to make a big difference in the fight against climate change using construction-integrated solar solutions.
Our mission is to become a global leader in the use of solar photovoltaics and solar thermal in buildings. We want to help revolutionise the global energy market.
The sun bathes the earth in an incredible amount of energy - in a day, enough arrives to power the whole world for several years. Humanity can now effectively harness the power of the sun. The 21st Century must be the solar century.
As the global market for renewable energy grows, thousands of jobs will be created in research, installation and manufacturing. A sustainable future is within our reach, in this generation.
Solar power systems installed in the areas defined by the dark disks could provide more than the
world's 2006 total primary energy demand (assuming a conversion efficiency of only 8% - C21e is
over 20% efficient). That means, all energy currently consumed, including heat, electricity,
fossil fuels, etc., could be produced in the form of electricity by solar cells. The colors in the map
show the local solar irradiance averaged over three years from 1991 to 1993 (24 hours a day)
taking into account the cloud coverage available from weather satellites. Source: http://www.ez2c.de/ml/solar_land_area/ Thanks to Wikipedia.
