Consider this —
All the energy stored in earth’s reserves of coal, oil and natural gas is matched by the energy produced by just 20 days of sunshine.
Over 25 years —
A 100 kW solar installation will offset 4,170,000 pounds of carbon dioxide, the equivalent of taking 364 cars off the road or planting 7 acres of forest. |

Renewable energy protects
Fossil fuel combustion contributes to global warming and climate change. Solar electric systems do not produce any emissions, thus helping to protect the environment.
In addition, solar electricity benefits the environment by:
- Reducing air pollution and acid rain
- Reducing dependency on foreign fuel sources and natural resources
- Reducing utility grid constraints in high demand/high population areas
- Providing better air quality
