The solar energy ‘revolution’ documentary ‘Here Comes the Sun’ is an inspiring documentary by Rob van Hattum, made for the Dutch television program VPRO Tegenlicht (VPRO Backlight).
If its up to the sun we have no energy problem. Each half an hour sun on earth providesenough for the whole world for a year with energy. We have no energy problem, we have a conversion problem. If we are able to harvest solar power then we can prevent a global energy crisis. “That sounds nice but that scenario will not succeed”, is the opinion of the energy industry and sceptics: It is too expensive; costs too much space, too much material; it costs more energy than it produces; it is not yet efficient enough. Solar energy might have a sustainable future in theory but it remains a marginal player in the global energy game. VPRO Backlight takes the edge off these `mythes’ and shows that solar power is much closer are then we think. 

The solar power industry already has the technology to make the concept cost efficient. Some of the German government measures have proved that it is possible. Rural occupants install complete solar plants on empty pieces ground. Many countries follow the Germanexample: The Americans have their Grand Solar plan and the French president Sarkozy has the plan Solaire with the countries around the Mediterranean Sea. According to Spanish electricity producers the oil societies are left out. Therefore, is there an energy crisis? Here comes the sun! Read more on about technologies behind solar energy in this article: Solar Power; it just makes sense! VPRO VPRO has a reputation of making the best documentaries out there, hereby succeeding in sustaining the integrity with respect to valid data. However, the validity of this data should never be taken as is withour further research. One way or the other, this video, while having a much smaller budget, can easily compete with the folks from BBC and PBS!
