There are many reasons why going solar is a smart choice. At Solar Optimum, we want to make sure everyone is aware of the main benefits of going solar so you can make an informed decision about whether solar is right for you. One of the advantages of solar energy is no greenhouse gases. Beyond the actual production of solar panels, solar energy does not release air pollutants as many other energy forms do. Even the production of solar cells releases fewer pollutants than conventional fossil-fuel power plants. Ultimately, the energy produced by your solar system is renewable, reliable, and clean.
Solar provides independent, free energy. After installation and initial maintenance, solar energy doesn’t require raw materials like coal or oil. This means societies become self-reliant and aren’t dependent on oil, coal, and even gas, all of which are becoming more and more scarce and expensive. This means less money for Big Oil and saving money for you.
Going solar can completely eliminate the amount of electricity you have to buy from your electric or utility service provider. Electricity is expensive and solar can help you save potentially thousands of dollars per year (depending on where you live and your electricity usage). In addition, using solar helps your community by providing additional electricity for the grid and lowering electricity demand.
Solar energy has very little impact on the environment when installed and used logically, as it is when it is installed on homes and other urbanized/established areas (like parking lots, office buildings, etc.). It helps the environment, your community, and your wallet. If you have the resources, solar may be the best decision you ever make.
