A typical 3kW Solar Energy System will offset the following over a 25-year period:
This is a simple, yet important effect of using solar energy. As more and more individuals, corporations, and government entities invest in alternative energies such as solar, we can conserve fossil fuels and other natural resources that are quickly diminishing. With a rapidly expanding world economy and strong growth in highly populated countries - the demand for energy is increasing at an alarming rate. This makes conserving our resources more important than ever. The rapid depletion of these natural resources further compromises future generations to meet their own needs.
Electricity production in the U.S. is dominated by fossil fuel including coal, petroleum and other similar fuels. Overall energy production (heat, electricity, etc.) is also dominated by these non-renewable fuels and the environmental impact is emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere. These all have a grave impact on public health, water and crops and impact many delicate ecosystems such as forests and fisheries.
