Summary/Abstract: Renewable energy sources are currently one of the most rapidly growing sectors of the economy in the world. This is because the global economy is consuming more and more energy, and according to the estimates given in the article, the conventional sources will be available for about 40-60 years. The declining resources of conventional energy sources, the need to respond to climate change, and the rising prices of conventional sources have forced concerted actions worldwide in the field of environmentally sustainable energy.
