Abstract

Despite the total control of traditional energies on the market of external energy trade, these energies are witnessing rapid developments in terms of both quantity and quality of mutual energy. This is due to several factors such as available reserves, energy prices, policies adopted by governments and international energy organizations and others, all of which cause instability of energy markets, resulting in a clear global trend towards renewable energies, especially solar energy. While traditional energies form the basis of global energy exchanges, for Algeria it is the lifeblood of its economy as a whole, Suffice it to infer that more than 95 percent of the country's income is derived from its exports of hydrocarbons, Because Algeria is not immune to the problems facing traditional energies, it has also relied on strategies to maximize its potential of solar energy and develop its use through current and future projects, in order to improve its exploitation and export. In this regard, we have reached through the various projects and aimed at investing in solar energy and export, but Algeria is not far from exporting solar energy, but will only be done if there is a strong and genuine desire to promote the exploitation of this energy source.
