There is a 175 000 TW power of solar energy, which came from the Sun. If it could be exploited, less than 10 % of this would be enough to cover the human economy. The solar energy has an important role in the reduction of the Ecological Footprint of humanity. This research would be offered a survey the global solar energy trends and the potential of building sector in Hungary. Furthermore, also the alternative energy sources appeared in the transport: many governments give financial assistance to the proliferation of electric cars. Government and policy support for renewable energy has increased considerably over the past decade. Two drivers underpin this trend: first, the effort to constrain growth in greenhouse-gas emissions and, second, concerns to diversify the supply mix (promoted particularly by high oil prices, especially in 2005-2008). To address these concerns, more and more governments are adopting targets and taking measures to enhance the share of renewables in the energy mix %K energy trends %K solar energy %K energy potential %K building sector assessment %K decision support %U https://hrcak.srce.hr/index.php?show=clanak&id_clanak_jezik=319104
