SOLAR ENERGY - Israel 67th Anniversary Coin 2015
Legal Tender issued by the Bank of Israel
The Israel 67th Anniversary Coin commemorates the impressive solar energy developments in Israel.

With its abundance of strong sunshine and technological capabilities, Israel has been able to develop this source of power by exploiting the sunshine in its southern desert region, which has some of the highest levels of solar radiation in the world. Solar energy is derived from sunlight and is renewable. Global demand for this form of clean energy as opposed to other forms of polluting fuels is constantly growing.

The first commercial solar field in Israel, converting sunlight to electricity by use of solar panels, was launched in 2011.

Israeli engineers are at the cutting edge of solar energy technology and Israeli Solar Companies today work on projects around the world. Israel is now the world's largest per capita user of domestic solar water heaters.

According to the International Energy Agency, in the future, solar energy may well become the major source of electricity.
