The photovoltaic cells in solar panels collect sunlight and turn it into usable power. This sustainable energy source may help you save money on your energy costs by reducing your dependency on fossil fuels.
After the constant failures from the hydroelectric system installed in 1960, Eposak and Otegi Group, with support of the British Embassy in Venezuela, installed photovoltaic cells with electric energy backups capable of handling the requirements of the outpatient clinic, high school, and sustainable tourist activities.
Venezuela should have been filled with photovoltaic panels a long time ago. But the electrical emergency is opening up a small path for this energy source, and the state hasn’t taken advantage of this technology yet
The engineer says: “It’s incredible, but in Venezuela, in the industrial region of Paraguaná, we have a solar panel factory, but it doesn’t have any staff. There’s materials in the storage facilities to produce for three years and supply the entire country with alternative systems.
The electric transmission for the entire country is limited to roughly 2,000 mw, the equivalent amount of electricity used in Caracas. But new ideas try to light up the darkness. Just like in the Venezuelan plains, electric outages with no prior warning on the Venezuelan Andes can go on for over eight hours at a time.
In 2005, hybrid systems that mixed energy from the national electric grid with solar energy, eolic energy, and diesel fuel backup started being installed in Venezuela, with the Sembrando Luz program from the Foundation for Development of the Electric Service (Fundación para el Desarrollo del Servicio Eléctrico, FUNDAELEC).
Chinese photovoltaic manufacturer Yingli Green Energy announced this week that it supplied 1.1 megawatts’ worth of solar panels for a solar farm in Los Roques, Venezuela, making the plant in question the largest in the country.

"Venezuela''s strategic location makes it an ideal place for photovoltaic generation and the importance of diversifying energy sources to combat the climate crisis and thus work together for a more sustainable future," said Lorca.
Consequently, a new concept, "smart photovoltaic windows" (SPWs) is proposed. [] SPWs are intelligent devices combining energy-saving and electrical power output by regulating and harnessing solar energy (Figure 1d).SPWs have been considered an ideal candidate for exploiting high efficiency ESBs due to their significant features.
As Venezuela grapples with its electricity crisis, the push towards solar energy represents a promising step towards a more sustainable future. By harnessing the country''s abundant solar resources, communities can reduce their reliance on traditional power sources and mitigate the impact of blackouts. With the potential for government support ...
