There are many reasons why people go solar. The first reason is that it largely reduces your carbon footprint. A person’s carbon footprint is created by activities that produce fossil fuels. CO2 emissions are worth reducing because they are a greenhouse gas which heats the atmosphere and warms our climate on earth1. Another reason is that it leads to financial savings. Solar panels lead to financial savings by reducing energy bills which will eventually create a return on investment2. Solar power doesn’t pollute the air or produce greenhouse gases. It replaces other non-renewable power sources like oil, gas, and coal, and using a renewable energy source stops the need to use fossil fuels to generate our electricity3. Going solar can also help your local economy, improve property value, protect against rising & unexpected costs, become a leader in sustainability and more.
