Israel’s National Electric Grid to Go Solar

Israel’s cabinet is set to approve a national master plan that will maximize reliance on solar energy to produce electricity. Photovoltaic technology – which converts sunlight into usable electricity — will be installed on roofs of building and in agricultural areas to feed electricity into the national grid. The new plan differs from previous models in its use of existing buildings as platforms for the photovoltaic infrastructure obviating the need to build free-standing solar energy farms.
