According to statics solar has become the most popular investment in the US in the past 10 years. In addition, the power plants that supply this electricity will fill the atmosphere with approximately 16,000 pounds of carbon dioxide every year. All this excess energy consumption is causing permanent damage to our planet. And we’re already seeing the effects today. It is estimated that 75% of the electricity generated in the US is via fossil fuels. We can truly reduce the carbon footprints by generating our own energy at home and supporting more renewable energy resources in the US. They in turn are relying less on fossil fuel Unlike many other counties such as Germany and Japan we still have a long journey to complete energy independence. Resources.
Benefits:
The benefits of solar are a proven fact. Installing solar is not only great for our planet but, it’s a smart financial investment. According to many studies homes which are equipped with solar energy have a rate of at least a 3.6 % property value increase and sell more quickly than non-solar homes. Appraisers are increasingly taking homes with solar installations into consideration as they value homes, and as the consumers become more educated about solar, demand for properties equipped with solar panel systems will continue to grow. One other important thing to consider is that there is very little maintenance required after installing solar. There are no moving parts or mechanical gears in movements to break in a solar cell, which makes it impossible breakdown. Solar cells tend to last many years with only semiannual cleaning required. Purchasing solar will also make you eligible for Government tax credits or other financial incentives which offset the cost. The US Government is dedicated in promoting solar power because of its overwhelmingly positive environmental impact on our day to day lives, not to mention the fulfilling feeling of having energy independence. Solar panel installation benefits us through how we live, the air we breathe, and the water we drink. Probably one of the most obvious benefits of solar panels is the ability to hedge utility rates. Electricity prices have gone up by an average of four percent annually. And they are bound to go up.
