Solar energy and global warming

Solar energy and global warming

These days, only a small minority of climate scientists deny the obvious fact that man is responsible for the global warming that has devastated 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. Many put the percentage of climate scientists in agreement as high as 97 percent. That did not prevent the Trump administration from placing tariffs on solar panels. The administration also believes in the myth of “clean coal.” But man is the cause of harmful emissions that trap gases in the atmosphere, causing global warming. Some examples of the activities caused by humans are the ignition of vast amounts of fossil fuels, coal, oil and gas for power and heat. This pollution has caused thousands of premature deaths.

The earth is warming up and there’s a way to slow this process

Home and business owners are where the solar revolution has started. However, the track record of most businesses when determining their environmental record is rather troubling. So it’s not surprising that there would be growing pains when attempting to become more aware of pollution and its root causes. Introducing renewable energy options typically requires upfront installation costs. Electricity is not a subject that business leaders have usually been concerned about and they have had little or no control over how it was produced or managed. Today, it’s foolish to ignore solar as a means to power even larger businesses. Inevitably, businesses today will have to consider alternative and renewable energy sources in the face of combating climate change and increasing customer requests for eco-friendly products and services. 

Solar is today

Solar power is the most efficient source of renewable energy as it is essentially zero-emission once installed.  However, some hurdles 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 some expertise to operate and maintain the solar 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. These firms will handle financing, constructing, owning and operating these solar photovoltaic assets. This frees up resources and investment money 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 damaging effects to our planet. Global climate change already has an obvious impact on our earth and the time to take action is now. What was once a remote possibility, have become a cost-effective solution for countries and corporates to address their electricity access gaps and manage climate change goals.
