Pollution abatement through solar 

Global warming is no longer theoretical. It is something we read about nearly every day. This summer, many climate-related events have alarmed the world. Japan, for example, is experiencing the hottest temperatures since weather measurements began. California is seeing much larger and more dangerous wildfires than ever before. Climate change is something we read about in the news. Is a man to blame for the pollution of the earth? The answer, according to climate scientists is yes. Can man do anything to reverse this process? Fortunately, the development of more efficient and cost-effective solar panels is making it possible to generate your own electricity.

Due to technological advances in solar, there are several ways to incorporate solar power into our daily lives. The energy is free, it’s easily accessible, and producing it is relatively clean. Considering all the benefits, it is surprising that solar energy is not more widely used. Advances in technology mean that it’s not as hard to manufacture solar panels, which makes them cheaper, and today’s solar panels can gather more energy with a smaller surface space. Today, technology exists to make clear solar panels, which will be used on office buildings to generate large amounts of clean, non-polluting energy.

Take advantage of solar technology

Outdoor lighting: Some people leave electric path lights on all night to light up walkways for safety reasons. This uses electricity, but if they’re solar-powered, you won’t have to worry about checking to see if they’re turned off each night. Because there are no wires, solar-powered path and accent lights are easy to install. Some companies offer strands of solar-powered string lights to decorate your yard or porch, so you can enjoy the lights without feeling guilty about using electricity.

Chargers: Chargers for phones and other devices are a leading source of vampire energy. Place your charging station by a sunny window and try using solar chargers as an alternative. Also look for some fresh inventions seen in other countries, such as solar sockets that stick onto a window or a magazine that doubles as a charger. 

Solar toys: Children are impressionable and they love gadgets of all varieties. Get your future environmentalists interested in solar at an early age with the wide range of solar powered toys available. They’re as basic as solar beads that change color when exposed to sunlight or as elaborate as solar-powered robot kits. It’s a fun way to educate kids about the power of sunlight. Once they become adults, they’ll understand the importance of renewable energy and hopefully, their generation will find more ways to harness it.

Cars with solar features

Some cars already solar technology. People enjoy parking in the hot sun if their car has a solar roof, like some Prius models. The solar roof panels on this car power a fan that keeps the air circulating, reducing the interior temperature while parked. In addition, a new experimental car by Ford has solar panels in the roof that help recharge the battery.
