Benefits of Solar

Solar Energy is about the future as well as the present. With unlimited potential, Solar Energy is a clean, efficient, and sustainable form of renewable energy. But Solar Energy is also a sound financial decision. With Solar panels powering your home, you'll see this every month when your electricity bill arrives. Finally, Solar Energy is a green decision - you'll feel good knowing that you will leave the world a greener, better place for your children.

Today, the worldwide demand for solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is greater than supply. It is one of the fastest growing forms of renewable energy. As manufacturing becomes more efficient, the cost of PV systems continues to drop. Prices have reduced 25 fold over the last 20 years.

Commercially, even electrical utilities are looking to Solar for a more stable cost structure. Research has shown that solar can even be effective in Northern climates. In California, electricity rates are increasing at a rate of 6.7% per year. Solar provides a hedge against future rate hikes. And in many countries, you can sell your surplus electricity back to the utility, generating a credit on your bill.

Not only is solar affordable, it is even more economical when you consider the alternative: the high costs of fossil fuel pollution and global warming. In recent opinion polls, solar energy scored higher than all other forms of energy when participants were asked what type of energy is best for future generations. Photovoltaic systems produce electric power with no carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The Carbon emission offset is calculated at approximately 7.5 tons of CO2 over the twenty-five year guaranteed life of one PV module

All in all, solar photovoltaic energy generation has a very bright future indeed.
