Environment – Zero Emissions! Solar power produces no emissions unlike much of today’s utility-supplied power. Once the system has paid for itself, which only takes a matter of years, decades of clean sustainable power will be enjoyed at no charge!
For every megawatt hour of solar electricity produced the Earth is spared the pollutants of over 1500 pounds of greenhouse gases like CO2, SO2, and NOx. Based on a small residential solar powered system (2.5kW PTC), that works out to almost 3 tons of greenhouse gas avoidance per year, or 75 tons over 25 years. Solar power is clean, abundant and fully renewable. It has been scientifically concluded that solar energy if captured completely for 1 hour could provide the world’s energy needs for 1 year.
Economic Benefits – Because solar power reduces our dependence on the Utility companies it also reduces the need to build new conventional peaking power plants. There is approximately 5000 megawatts of energy potential currently available by utilizing the space on existing roofs of homes and small businesses in California. Turning even a small percentage of that potential into solar power generation would reduce or eliminate our need to build new power plants for many years to come.
Complementary to Utility Power – Solar power correlates well with the daily load patterns of utilities because the power is available when it is needed most – during daylight hours when utilities are subject to their peak loads and more specifically late morning to early evening in summer months during high air conditioning loads.
Low Operating Cost – Once installed photovoltaic cells operate continuously for decades with few ongoing operating costs. They generate electricity through a wide range of temperature and light conditions.
Reliable – With no moving parts and a warranted life for PV panels of 20 to 25 years, solar PV systems are highly reliable and require little routine maintenance.
Increased home value– According to the American Solar Energy Society a solar system increases a home value by $20,000 for each $1,000 in annual reduced operating costs.
Hedge against rising utility prices – Once you have invested in your system, you will be producing power independently. You will then be less susceptible to increases in energy costs on the power you produce for the life of your system. Over the past 30 years, energy from power companies has increased an average of six percent a year.
