Solar Basics

Why Solar?

There are many reasons to harness the power of the sun. Solar power is one of the fastest growing sources of energy in the world. Solar energy is a renewable and consistent power source – it will always be around.

Installing a solar energy system is a great way for you to help protect the environment and create a sustainable future.

Here are some additional benefits:

• Stabilizes Energy Costs. Solar energy helps to stabilize energy costs.
• Reduces Pollution. Solar energy requires less fossil fuels to be produced - which improves air quality over time.
• Reduces Global Warming. There are no carbon dioxide, methane or other emissions that contribute to global warming.
• Saves Water. Solar energy saves the use of one-half gallon of water for each kWh of solar energy produced.
• Carbon Offest. The use of solar power saves the release of 2 lbs. of carbon dioxide (CO2) for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) produced.
• Increases Home Value. Solar energy systems can increase your home’s value.
