The source of electricity for the future

Pollution is a serious problem in most of the world’s urban areas. Examining who the worst offenders are is important so education can be introduced to counter some of the false claims originating from fossil fuel and nuclear power advocates. There are a limited number of solutions to this gigantic environmental problem and solar power is clearly the most relevant. Carbon emissions are one of the biggest issues we face in the modern day world. From global warming to environmental changes, we are facing a multitude of problems due to carbon emissions. Therefore, we must be extremely careful when we select our methods for energy generation and do everything in our power to reduce carbon emissions and our own carbon footprints.  Fortunately, solar is a renewable form of energy and does not cause damage to the environment in any substantial way (except in the manufacturing process) and this gives hope to those who despaired seeing the continued climate projections from experts.

Fossil fuels and solar energy

Despite the massive move toward solar power, electricity is still generated mostly by burning fossil fuels. This causes large amounts of smoke and carbon emissions which in turn lead to global warming. Solar energy, on the other hand, absorbs the energy of the sun and converts it into electricity in a pure form, without any smoke emanations. It is a safe, easy and inexpensive way of producing electricity. Solar panels are also silent, which is an enormous advantage to those who are sensitive to environmental noise.

The advantages of solar energy

Solar energy does not rely on any other form of energy to generate electricity – it only employs the rays of the sun. An enormous benefit of solar power is that the solar panels last for several decades in most cases. So once you install solar panels, there is very little maintenance required. The only maintenance typically needed is the occasional cleaning with water. This has many advantages. The industries that make the panels do not have to waste valuable resources to make hundreds of these panels because one panel lasts for a very long time.  Then, solar energy becomes practically costless. Once the panel is installed and set up, the power generated is free and any extra power can be sold back to your utility company in some cases. This can eliminate your monthly electric bill and could be an extra source of capital every month.

Carbon emission reductions with solar panels

According to the government officials, in the United States of America, electricity generation contributes to more than a third of the carbon emissions in the atmosphere. This is dangerously high and simply by switching to solar energy, this amount can be reduced. Industrial units also contribute to about 14% of the emission figures and businesses are continuing to install solar panels for their operations. If more corporations powered their buildings with solar, they would save enough to give everyone a raise! Using solar to power your business can have the added benefit of avoiding power outages caused when too many people are using energy at the same time. Solar with a storage battery eliminates this issue.

There has never been a better time to install a solar energy system!

Solar power is here to stay, and the sooner you explore how much you can save, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of residential solar power. Be the first in your neighborhood to install a solar energy system.
