Solar is our environment’s best friend

Global warming is a reality that cannot be ignored any longer. The earth only has another half-century of fossil fuels remaining. After that, the world will have no other choice. In theory, we could continue to drill for dead animals in extremely sensitive areas, but this is a policy that has caused tremendous damage to the sea and the land. We are being led to adopt alternative energy strategies. However, before then, it’s extremely important that we develop renewable sources of energy because scientists tell us we may already be too late. Greenhouse emissions are causing health problems for people all over the planet and the most vulnerable are our very young and very old. Solar energy systems are the leading source of renewable energy for our homes and businesses, with gradually more individuals and companies choosing to have them installed. We are also experiencing an increase in the number of solar farms that are being constructed, all of which is good news for mother earth. Clearly, in this age of rampant pollution, it is important to understand why solar energy is good for the environment.

The many benefits of solar for the environment

Solar panels have several benefits for the environment due to their green energy and lack of emissions when in operation. Utilizing solar energy reduces the energy you use from the electrical grid. This is critical because of the pollution the power grid produces.  Unfortunately, solar power doesn’t work at night, so for those who don’t have solar batteries installed, they still need to be connected to the power grid if they don’t have enough energy to power the home at night. However, in general, one home's solar power generation means less burning of toxic fossil fuels.

Solar gets you no greenhouse gases

Solar energy relies entirely on absorbing energy from the sun and converting it into electricity (or hot water) for use in our homes and businesses. Employing solar power means that you are not producing any greenhouse gases or contributing to global warming. Solar can reduce the carbon footprint of your home by nearly 80% in one year. Imagine if the whole world went solar!

Solar energy has an almost infinite capacity

Solar energy is the best form of renewable energy. This means that there is plenty of power to go around because it is an energy source that won’t run out for the current world cycle. Fossil fuels are a finite source of power that has caused the premature deaths of many thousands of people and animals. We damage the planet with fossil fuels when we mine and distribute them. By relying on solar panels for your energy, you are one less household that is relying on fossil fuels, and it can make a bigger impact than many people think.

Solar panels last a long time and require very little maintenance

The manufacturing process for solar panels has not been perfected, but the fact that they last so long and don’t need much maintenance is a big selling point. Conventional heating methods need relatively regular replacement and maintenance, which can produce a lot of environmentally unfriendly waste, and increase the need for more units to be made. Solar panels last about 50 years, so you shouldn’t have to replace them for a long time.
