According to him, the sun can replace fossil fuels and give a start to the development of a promising direction in the energy sector, «Sputnikwrites».
The scientist added that in recent years many states have begun to install solar power plants on their territory. According to him, such process is especially important for countries in which there is a lot of sun, for example, for the countries of the Central Asian region.
Alekseenko added that such type of energy is one of the most expensive, but it also is the most cost-effective. In southern Europe, all costs are repaid within one year, he said.
