?As we look towards the future, the gas price crisis is pushing forward what the world already needed: more solar panels on rooftops. Discover the role of solar power in our current energy crisis right here at Bluetti.

What¡¯s Causing the European Energy Crisis?
Natural gas prices have been surging in Europe as demand increases globally. While this is happening with most commodities, it's been a larger problem with natural gas.
This is due?to a global economic rebound as countries lift COVID-19 restrictions and fully reopen their economies. Markets are now competing as demand rises after the shock of the pandemic.
With Europe¡¯s dependency on Russia for natural gas transportation, including crude oil and refined petroleum products, coal, steel, and iron, a current decline in supply has contributed to the energy crisis. As a result, the supply of these products has been slashed, causing their prices to soar.
An increased demand in Asia has also influenced energy prices, with numbers looking to inflate?by 60% by 2040?¨C and around only 15% of this energy is renewable!
Globally, this ever-increasing demand will result in prices creeping up year after year, more so in times of crisis, as we have seen in the past few months.

Looking to the Future
Due to the current energy crisis, and in the name of a more economically and environmentally sustainable future, governments across the world are pouring more money into sustainable alternatives. One such alternative is solar energy.

The Global Impact of Solar Power
With energy bills on their way up again later this year, homeowners across the world are looking skywards to try and ease the pressure on their budgets through the installation of solar panels.
Ballymacarney Solar PV Park?will be one of Ireland¡¯s first solar farms. With construction due to finish late this year, Ballymacarney will provide over 40,000 homes with power, helping Ireland succeed in its ambitious goal for 70% of their energy to be renewable by 2030.
Across the continent in Greece, this past April Hellenic Petroleum ¨C which is currently undergoing a switch to green energy?¨C powered up the largest bi-facial solar farm in Europe. Costing EUR 130 million to install, the Kozani solar park?will provide energy to an estimated 75,000 homes in the region.
?
Renewable Options
As well as solar power, there are many other renewable sources of energy being explored by governments and homeowners across the world, such as wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal.
However, for a standard home located within a mild to moderate climate, solar is arguably the most effective, and most easily accessible option available to residential buyers.
And while solar panel installation is initially expensive, there are options available to aid buyers through their transition to renewable energy.
Once your solar panels are installed; your energy bills will drop. Estimates?calculate savings of up to 600 per year, potentially more as electricity prices continue to rise ¨C and the value of your home could increase by up to 4.1%.?

The Benefits of Solar Energy
As well as saving you money, having access to solar power can help support a more sustainable future. Renewable energy sources are currently at the forefront of global development, with more sustainable alternatives available and under construction every week.
Currently, the UK relies on renewable energy sources?for as much as 43.1% of its energy consumption, with the goal to have zero net emissions by 2050. Across Europe and the world, similar targets are held as part of the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, as well as individual country goals.
