Not many people understand how beneficial solar panels are to the environment and that’s what we’re talking about today!
- Using residential solar reduces air pollution
We all know that resources that use fossil fuels, such as our heating systems in our homes or our gas stoves, are very common in homes throughout the world. The carbon dioxide and methane these heating systems produce is waste that is harmful to the environment. These toxic emissions not only contribute to global warming, but also lead to an overall decrease air quality. By using solar panels, households help to contribute to decreasing the amount of carbon dioxide that is released into the atmosphere every year.
- Reduces our dependency on finite resources
solar energy is renewable, which means that we will never run out of solar energy. However, fossil fuels are a limited source and we will eventually run out of them. The sun is the world’s most abundant source of energy and by harnessing this energy to create power, we have created the ability to never run out of power. By switching over to residential solar, you’ll have to worry less about running out of fossil fuels to fuel your life.
- Minimizes water pollution
Residential solar panels don’t require any water in order to generate electricity. Fossil fuels and hydroelectricity need water to produce electricity, thus leading in higher levels of water pollution. Since they do not require any water to run or produce electricity, the local businesses around you will have less of a water strain, agriculture systems will be able to run more efficiently, the community will have cleaner water to drink, there will be less of a strain placed on the drinking systems, and countless other benefits.
