All in one solar power system in Israel

Israel's location and climate allow a high potential for solar energy production. This report investigates solar and renewable energy development in Israel's past, and present, as well as future plans. It presents main players in the space such as existing and future government and independent initiatives.

In order to meet Israel's goal of increasing the production rate of green energy to 30% within a decade, the State is promoting legislation that allows owners of private homes and commercial buildings to set up a solar power plant on the roof.

The policy aims to drastically change Israel's infrastructure, making it one of the leading in the OECD in the production of solar energy as green energy, rather than natural gas, and improve the country's economy. The national plan is to be evaluated in stages, with the aim for the end of 2025 to increase Israel's solar energy output to 20%.

The investment model for solar energy has evolved over the last decade, as Israel has put more of a focus on increasing the rate of green electricity generated from renewable energy sources, most notably – sunlight.

Another advantage to expanding the use of solar panels is that it reduces Israel's dependence on oil-produced energy, which in today's world affords great power to a fairly small number of countries, most of which are characterized by problematic regimes, to say the least.
