The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a project led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) to construct the largest solar telescope in Europe with a diameter of 4m, at one of the two observatories in the Islands. Its main purpose will be to study phenomena such as sunspots and solar flares, with unprecedented accuracy, and a resolution of a few tens of kilometres at the surface of the Sun. The EST will allow us to better understand the emission of large quantities of electrically charged material, which can cause problems with our systems of communications. The model of this
