Location of the challenge or needs

This is because the main concerns of people when acquiring an energy system is that it fulfills its function and efficiently supplies the entire home and there are no cost overruns.

Proposed solution to the challenge, resources and associated costs2.

Proposed solution to the challenge, resources and associated costs

The solution we have proposed for this case is to start using solar energy as our means to generate renewable energy from sunlight. To do this we would need to start transforming our old methods of energy collection to new, more efficient methods such as solar panels.

Thanks to technological advances, solar energy serves to provide heat, provide light and besides that is inexhaustible and renewable, in addition to this, it also helps climate change and is not polluting as other means of obtaining energy.

Impacted Community3.

Impacted Community

If we talk about the people who would be impacted by this change, we could talk about all those who have low resources or even people who have a much larger than average economic and/or purchasing power.

Regulations required5.

Regulations required

The regulations or legal processes that must be carried out to have solar energy are basically very simple. First of all, we must verify that the use of solar panels is authorized in our country, which is something very normal in almost every country in the world. After that, a previous administrative and construction authorization, and finally, an environmental and public utility authorization.

Restrictions4.

Restrictions

As a restriction and point against, we would have, for example, that the efficiency of solar energy is only 22%; in addition to this, we can say that the manufacture of solar panels produces polluting gases for the greenhouse effect.

As a restriction, we also have the fact that since it is not a very common energy, people are just giving it a chance to try it, they do not realize the potential it has and are afraid or often have doubts or choose not to change their method of obtaining energy.
