How Solar ☀️ Energy is Changing the Way We Think About Power 🔋

Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable source of power that is becoming increasingly popular around the world.

And here are some of the key advantages of using solar energy including how it helps preserve the planet earth as one of you once sought to understand.

1. Cost-effective: While it may be a bit expensive to acquire, once installed, solar panels can generate electricity without any ongoing fuel costs, making it one of the most cost-effective sources of energy available. In fact, Emily Folker, one of the renowned renewable energy advocates argues that “investing in solar is a decision with long-term implications and the more expensive the system, the more electricity it can generate”
2. Environmentally friendly: Solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions or other harmful pollutants. It helps reduce our carbon footprint and combat climate change. It can thus be used as a substitute for fuel generators, firewood and charcoal among other things.
3. Low maintenance: Solar panels require very little maintenance and can last for decades, making them a low-maintenance source of energy. High quality solar panels have a lifespan of 20- 30 years and do not require regular replacement/ maintenance as is the case with grid equipments. Yes, solar panels may become less efficient during winter seasons but they still generate power. What’s more, with the use of quality storage systems like Tesla’s powerwall, you may never experience power outages.
4. Versatile: Solar panels can be installed on rooftops, in open fields, and even on floating platforms on water bodies, making them a versatile source of energy. Since they can be installed in open fields, they can play a great role in powering irrigation equipment hence improving crop yields.
5. Energy independence: By generating their electricity through solar panels, individuals and businesses can reduce their dependence on the grid and have more control over their energy supply.

These are just a few of the many advantages of using solar energy. As technology continues to improve and costs continue to fall, solar energy is likely to play an increasingly important role in our energy mix.
