Technological Versatility
Solar energy is harnessed by way of 3 technologies – photovoltaics which produces electricity directly through the sunlight, concentrating solar power and utilizing solar heat to power large-scale electric turbines; and solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems, which capture thermal energy for hot water and air conditioning purposes. The method of harnessing is versatile and that too the adaptability that allows solar technology for various applications. From vehicles to power your home, to develop innovations like solar roads, solar paints, solar windows, and many more across different domains.
Benefits of Solar Energy to the Environment
Not only the solar energy is sustainable, but for each kilowatt per hour the energy that is being produced, is also sustainable and reduces the CO2 and even dangerous pollutants like sulfur oxides (SO2), and nitrogen oxides (NO2) that are the major reason to pollute the environment.
Not only this, compared to fossil fuel or other renewable sources, solar energy produces less noise. Sunrays and solar devices collect energy by making very little noise and that’s the reason that it is suitable for any setting. Solar energy also reduces water consumption and withdrawal.
Going Green Till the End of Life
From producing the solar energy, installation, and after using them, the entire idea is environmentally friendly. After using them, the entire solar panel materials can be recycled and reused in the future to reduce the environmental damage after the operational lifespan.
Maximize Energy Production During Peak Hours
The panels gather maximum energy during the peak sunlight hours. This optimizes the power generation and as it can be stored, it can be utilized accordingly.
Applicable Everywhere
Solar panels are geologically friendly. From rural to urban areas, from small villages to big cities, solar energy is easily accessible. For residential, commercial, and industrial use solar energy provides equal justice to each realm.
Wealth and Employment Generation with Sun
Investment in solar infrastructure provides employment opportunities for solar panel raw materials manufacturers, installers, maintenance technicians, agents, distributors, and business owners.
According to a study, “Job creation during the global energy transition to 100% renewable power systems by 2050”.
Narrow Down the Electricity Bill
You get electricity directly from the sun by installing solar panels that significantly reduce or eliminate your dependency on traditional electricity providers which leads to a reduction in your electricity expenditure.
Escalate the Value of Property
Just like renovating and upgrading the corners of your home inflates the value of your property, solar panels are also considered an upgrade for your home, and thus, homes that are equipped with solar panels fetch higher resale values due to their reduced operating costs and eco-friendly appeal.
Renewable Energy Reduces Carbon Emissions
Solar energy is completely clean and it does not produce any harmful gasses by its usage. The use of solar energy has no association with environmental damage than that caused by the use of other power generation means. Solar energy’s carbon-neutral operation aids in the global fight against greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a cleaner, healthier planet.
Low Maintenance Cost
The only cost is the product and installation cost of solar panels. Once installed, solar panels require minimal maintenance, translating to long-term user cost savings.
If you consider investing in good quality solar panels, the average lifespan of solar panels is around 20 to 25 years.
Cost Savings
Solar energy offers significant financial benefits, including tax incentives, rebates, and reduced electricity bills, enhancing affordability and ROI. The solar dependents will be advantageous by this but also will be a part to contribute in creating a green future for the upcoming generation.
