Renewable energy
On this sun-blessed island of Mallorca it seems strange that relatively few people exploit the sun's energy in their daily lives. Whether it's providing electricity, heating for water, home, or swimming pool, this free source of energy can be harnessed with a solar energy power system. It's been estimated that the amount of energy used by people all over the globe in one year is produced by the sun in just one hour!
Now that new properties built must include some use of solar energy, companies specialising in this technology are increasing in number. These are links to some of them:

- Optimacasa
This company is currently constructing the first zero-energy house in Mallorca. Walls, foundations and windows are insulated to reduce the use of energy. Stored warmth from the sun (or coolness in summer) isn't lost through the outer shell. External planting is specifically designed so that, in summer, the building is shaded and, in winter, the sun keeps the external walls warm. The primary heat source is the sun and, second, sources such as wood. All household appliances correspond to the lowest forms of energy.
