We live in a world where the need for energy is continually growing. But how will we be able to meet the ever-growing demands, if we primarily depend on non-renewable resources? Today, fossil fuels supply more than 85% of the world’s energy. Sooner or later we will have to look for alternatives. It’s always better sooner than later.

If you’ve seen or bought solar lights a few years ago, you were probably disappointed because they were rather dim. They also didn’t stay lit for very long.

Renewable energy is a form of energy that can be generated from a number of different natural resources. These renewable resources come from wind, water, rain, sunlight and geothermal heat. Currently around 20 per cent of the world’s energy comes from the renewable energy sources. The vast majority of this comes from burning wood. The second most common form of renewable energy that is in use in the world today comes from hydroelectricity which provides three per cent of the world’s electricity.

It was not so long ago that solar lights seemed like a great idea, but in real life they just couldn’t deliver on their promise. With an extremely short battery life and producing only a minimal amount of light, solar lights seemed less than prepared for prime time.
