A national master plan has been formulated in Israel and is now awaiting cabinet approval which will optimize the country’s reliance on solar energy to meet the country’s electrical needs. The plan calls for photovoltaic panels to be installed on roofs and in agricultural areas that will produce electricity which will feed into the electrical grid of Israel. The plan is new in that it uses already existing structures to place the photovoltaic panels, creating the solar power infrastructure without needing to spend huge amounts of money building free standing solar energy farms. Not only does the plan save money, it also saves the even more precious land in Israel for other uses.
