The oil and gas that nature needed to generate 3.5 million years we consume it in 1 year. Mining is not enough, we transfer with a huge cost, oil or gas over huge distances with the aim of the "safe supply of the nations-states." In 2002 Prestige tanker sank in the Mediterranean and 77,000 tons of crude oil were leaked.

The energy resources of our planet, mainly oil and gas, have been consumed from 1880 since today continuously, significantly burdening the environment. Countries have created large infrastructure to manage these resources, thus contributing significantly to the well-being of the people. However, the recipe that has been applied for 100 years with the simultaneous development of the corresponding industry does not have to be the current solution for today's needs!
 

With Renewable Sources, energy coverage is possible in the future. This is because:
 

• Renewable Energy Sources, according to a UN report, can cover 80% of the World Energy Consumption.
• Only 2.5% of the technically renewable potential of RES can be used to cover Energy Consumption by 2050.
• 120 researchers focus on 6 technologies: solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, geothermal and wave.

While we have been pumping oil and gas from the ground since the beginning of the last century, the first individual applications of photovoltaics  start worldwide, began from 1970 until 1999. From 1999 since today, a variety of high-power photovoltaic installations are being implemented with a significal gradual decline acquisition costs in Germany, Japan, China and the rest of the world.

In 2013, any related installation of new photovoltaic parks in Greece is interrupted, since it was considered that the target was achieved, with a breakdown of the sector and employment.

• 1983: Construction of Europe's first photovoltaic park in Greece, specifically in Kythnos, with a total power of 100kwp.
• 2006: Institutional framework at the initiative of the Hellenic Chamber of Commerce for a Photovoltaic Market Opening Bill.
• 2009: Start of the market of photovoltaics in Greece (Feed-In-Tarif).
• 2010: Modification of the institutional framework.
• 2010-2013: They are operating at 2200MW in photovoltaic parks and 500MW on roofs.
• Today: Net Metering and Self Production.
In one year each installed KW photovoltaic panel produces an average of 1400kwh based on current technological levels. For Greece's energy needs in electricity, we would theoretically have to cover 0.15% of the total area of ​​Greece. This means an area of ​​200 square kilometers of land distributed evenly across the continental and island mainland. It should be noted that the total area of ​​our country is 131.957 km2.

Our proposal to deal effectively and practically with the current crisis in Greece concerns the applications described in two axes:

• Project Helios: Production of Electricity from the Sun in Greece or other Southern European countries (Italy, Spain, Portugal) and connection of the networks to the other Central European networks.
• Combined use of Solar Energy with other RES for simple household applications.

USE OF SOLAR ENERGY THROUGH HELIOS PROJECT
 

Project Helios will bring significant benefits to the European economy. Some of these are described below:

• Close part of nuclear reactors.
• Revenue from trafficking, secure and direct income through company taxation.
• Increased sales of European companies producing inverter panels, electrical equipment and network equipment.
• New jobs during construction, but also during the operation of the projects.
• Covering part of the energy deficit.
• Reducing external debt.
• Acquisition of experience and know-how in the construction of large energy projects.

USE OF SOLAR ENERGY FOR DOMESTIC APPLICATIONS

Today, the conventional cost of producing, transporting and distributing electricity in Greece from conventional fuels, such as lignite, natural gas or oil, amounts to a total of 12 to 22cent / KWh for domestic applications.

The decision for the right heat mode that should be choosed as well as the electricity supply for houses with the help of solar energy is easy, since the depreciation of the installation takes place in a short time and has the advantage of autonomy and feedback.
