The Power of The SunThe sun delivers more energy to Earth in one hour than humanity consumes over the course of a year, making solar the only renewable energy source that can keep up with global demands.
It's been estimated that if we were to power the entire world with current solar technology, in order to meet estimated demand in the year 2030 it would take a solar array space roughly the size of Spain. |

What does this mean for energy production today?
|
Between the increase in efficiency of solar technologies and the growing market demand, the cost of producing solar power has continued to plummet in recent years. Solar is now the second cheapest method for commercial energy production in the United States, falling behind wind by only a small margin.
Coal and gas, traditionally the primary source of energy in the United States, are finite resources. The cost of manufacturing energy with these limited resources is beginning to rise in comparison to renewable energy, and will only rise further in coming years. |
|
Reducing carbon emissions
The majority of energy in the USA still comes from high-carbon footprint sources like fossil fuels. Every home that goes solar can eliminate the same amount of carbon emissions that would result from burning almost 9,000 pounds of coal each year.

A reduction in carbon production of this size has a similar environmental impact to planting 200 trees every single year. Over the average lifetime of a solar system that equates to 5,000 trees planted, or 225,000 pounds of coal preserved.

Water Consumption
|
Did you know that commercial power generation requires a shocking amount of water? In 2010, 45% of all water consumption in America was used for cooling thermoelectric power plants according to the EPA. Power plants require almost as much water as industrial mining, irrigation, and industrial sectors combined!
By choosing to go solar, you're committed to clean energy that both reduces carbon emissions and also involves zero water waste! Commercial and residential solar arrays require absolutely no water usage, apart from maybe an occasional cleaning. |
Go Solar, Save The Environment
In 2016, the amount of solar power produced globally increased by 50%. If you're curious about solar for your home but have been waiting for the right time, then know that the time is now.
