Why Solar?

Want a win for the environment AND for your property? Solar panels reduce energy bills, increase a home’s value, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar that is generated will substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions like CO2, as well as other dangerous pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Solar also reduces water consumption and withdrawal.

From residential and commercial solar to major solar farms, solar energy is in extremely high demand — and that demand is increasing rapidly. In fact, solar energy accounted for more than 64 percent of all new energy added to the worldwide electrical grid in 2024.

Solar cells have been used on rooftops since 1893, but this technology has become exceedingly popular in recent years. The reason isn’t entirely political; it isn’t only because of mandates or requirements from governments. These days, solar energy is also installed because of increasing costs related to primary energy production methods, as well as the reduction in costs and increased recyclability processes for modules (solar panels) and components.

As technology improves, modules become more efficient — and are able to convert more of the sun’s rays into electricity. This means fewer materials are used to generate more energy. Due to recent breakthroughs in module efficiency and stringing methods, solar has become so affordable that most self-generating homes or businesses can save double or even triple the amount of money they’ll spend on installing their system vs. renting electricity from the profit-hungry utility monopolies over the next 20 years.
