Carbon emissions have reached record highs in most countries. Global warming has caused most of the devastating climate changes that the world is encountering. The use of solar energy is an effective way of reducing these greenhouse gasses
When you install solar panels on your home, you contribute to generating clean energy, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, and cleaning up the air around us all. Even a small solar system of about 5 kW installed on your roof can reduce carbon emissions by as much as 250,000 pounds, or the equivalent of planting 21,000 square feet of trees.
Just think, if all homes in a major city were to install solar panels, the air quality in the entire area would improve substantially. Farmlands, beaches, lakes, rivers, and even marine life would be positively affected. The reduced pollution would be equivalent to removing hundreds of cars from the road.
Of course, unlike other natural resources, solar energy is entirely renewable and never fully exhausted. We are currently harnessing only a tenth of the sun’s energy. The more solar energy we use, the closer we get to powering the world with excess! As our need for power increases and natural resources like oil and coal decrease, we must seek sustainable, clean energy. Now is the time to harness solar energy to meet both current and future energy needs while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
