Solar power is 100% clean energy, compared to conventional energy sources.
When you power your home with solar electricity, you help the environment
and your community.
Your solar system has…
- No harmful emissions, pollutants, or chemicals vented to the atmosphere
- No global warming impact
- No power generation noise in your neighborhood
- No air pollution or smog contributions (clear skies, more visibility)
- No impact on fisheries, wildlife, and natural habitats
- No depletion of Earth’s limited fossil fuels
- No harmful pollutants or waste discarded to landfills or oceans
- No drilling or pipelines in sensitive ecosystems
- No soil or water contamination
- No toxins, toxic spills, or hazardous waste to clean up
- No valuable groundwater used
- No corrosive materials, waste heat, or acid rain by-products
- No risk of power plant meltdown, flood, or explosion
- No smokestacks, industrial turbines, or nuclear towers spoiling the skyline
Solar power is the usable energy derived from the light of the sun. Solar energy has been known and used by traditional technologies for centuries. Numerous methods of harnessing power, to reduce our dependency or non-renewable resources, are being tried in various parts of the country. Wind and sun are the two most dominant in that arena and the sun is proving to be the hot spot for activity in generating solar electric power.
Solar power has been used in heating, in generation of electricity, as well as in desalination of seawater. Application of solar power is becoming more widespread as the costs as well as supply of other power sources like fossil fuels make solar an effective alternative source for energy generation.
