LET’S LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR TEAMS Green energy for Amara The problem of global warming and responsible management of energetic resources is a priority for all of us. Solar energy is one of the main sources of renewable energy, being offered to Earth in huge amounts. In 2016 near Amara city the most modern photovoltaic plant from the South East of Romania was built. It contains 8 rotating devices on which 416 solar panels are installed. These work on the sunflower principle, that is they revolve together with the sun and more so if the wind blows with more than 60km/h they align themselves vertically. Depending on the light of each day a device with 52 panels produces about 12.500 kw/day of solar energy. Amara is one of the first communities in the country to produce green energy that is used by the Town Hall, the School, the Kindergarten and the public lighting. In Europe, Romania is situated in the second area of sunlight. In our country there can be found 4 areas of sunlight, from a maximum of 1600kwh/m2 in Dobrogea to 1250 kwh/m2 in the North of the country every year. Solar energy is practically inexhaustible and is the cleanest form of energy on Earth. Conclusion: By choosing this type of renewable energy source all the consumers will reduce their impact on the environment associated with conventional energy and they will increase their energetic independence. Romania is a unitary semi-presidential republic located in Southeastern- Central Europe, bordering the Black Sea, between Bulgaria and Ukraine. It also borders Hungary, Serbia and Moldova.
