All solar energy systems, whether they are photovoltaic
or solar thermal hot water, commercial or residential, provide
a number of significant advantages over conventional systems.
Financial
You can benefit from numerous financial incentives
supporting your decision to choose a solar alternative. Solar
energy systems:
- Qualify for government rebates and tax credits
- Reduce
your energy expenses
- Pay for themselves well within the
first half of their lifespan
- Stabilize energy supply and
cost
- Prove flexible and sizeable
- Require little maintenance
Environmental
All solar energy systems will contribute to
your efforts to protect the environment.
Solar hot water systems are clean and efficient, utilizing
less fuel than conventional water heating systems.
With a solar electric system you will quietly produce your
own clean energy with very little adverse impact on the environment.
When compared to electricity generated from fossil fuels,
each kilowatt of solar-produced electricity offsets up to:
- 830 pounds of nitrogen oxides per year
- 1,500 pounds of sulfur
dioxide per year
- 217,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year
