Environmental Benefits

Does Solar Energy Affect the Environment?

Every time you switch on a light, start your computer or air conditioner, or run your dishwasher, pollution is produced somewhere at the other end of the grid, contributing to climate change and reducing the quality of air that we breathe. Nearly 70% of electric power today is produced unsustainably from fossil fuels like oil, coal and natural gas.

View of solar panels, a clean field, and clean air, one of the advantages of solar.

You Can Make a Difference

When you install a solar system on your roof, you greatly reduce the amount of pollution that is produced by your day-to-day activities.

Average 5kW Solar System is equal to:

  • planting 3,030 trees
  • taking 22 cars off the road for a year
  • 1.6 tanker trucks of fuel not burned
  • 41 tons of waste recycled

Most Abundant, Efficient Clean Energy

During the past 24 hours, more solar energy has hit the earth than we could ever begin to use. The economic and social benefits of harnessing this awesomely abundant source of energy are infinite. We can all look forward to cleaner air, much less pollution and energy independence.

What's great about solar is it's actually one of the more efficient ways of producing energy. While individual solar cells themselves only operate at 10-20% efficiencies, a solar system itself is surprisingly efficient! So, does solar energy affect the environment? The answer is YES- daily, significantly, and positively. Solar energy greatly benefits the environment.
