Solar power and global climate change

Solar power and global climate change

Only a small minority of climate scientists resist the obvious fact that man is responsible for the global warming that has gripped the globe. According to a study by NASA, we are reaching a scientific consensus where the majority of actively publishing climate scientists agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change. Some examples of the activities caused by human are the ignition of vast amounts of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas for power and heat. These carbon-containing fuels release carbon dioxide along with other heat-trapping gases into the air, causing thousands of premature deaths.

The earth is warming up...literally

The track record of most businesses when analyzing their environmental record is not positive. So it’s not surprising that there would be growing pains when attempting to become more conscious of pollution. Introducing renewable energy options typically involves upfront costs as well as additional resources. Electricity is not something that business leaders have traditionally been concerned about and they have had little or no control over how it was produced, delivered or managed. Today, it’s foolish to ignore solar as a possibility to power even larger businesses. Inevitably, businesses today will have to think about alternative and renewable energy sources in the face of combating climate change and increasing customer demand for eco-friendly products and services. 

Solar is an energy source fully ready to go now!

Solar photovoltaic is the most efficient source of renewable energy as it is effectively zero-emission once installed.  However, some challenges still exist for most companies wanting to install solar. In addition to the upfront capital costs for the installation of a solar system, it requires considerable expertise to operate and maintain the solar PV system to ensure optimal performance over the long period of time that the plant will be operating. A good way to defray the financial risk of such sustainable infrastructure projects is to enter a partnership with reliable third-party developers who are experts in their field. These firms will be responsible for financing, constructing, owning and operating these solar photovoltaic assets. This also frees up resources and capital for the company to focus on their core business functions.

Global warming is a problem that needs to be addressed now!

Climate scientists have long believed a two-degree rise in global temperature is the tipping point to irreversible devastating effects to our planet. Global climate change already has a visible impact on our earth and the time to take action is now. What was once a remote possibility, have become a viable solution for countries and corporates to address their electricity access gaps and manage climate change mitigation goals.
