Why is solar so popular?

Actually, that’s a very easy question to answer. For most people, climate change is obvious and news reports this summer make that clearer than ever before. The damaging effects of global warming are showing up in too many places to be ignored. Record high temperatures are causing premature deaths in America, Canada, Europe, and Japan. Man-made global warming symptoms are helping to wake up a sleeping populace. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find an energy source that is renewable and doesn’t kill innocent people. 

Solar energy and the real world

Solar energy is the power provided by the sun, harnessed through photovoltaic (PV) cells, which turn sunlight directly into electricity. When sunshine hits the PV cell, the photons of light excite the electrons in the cell, making them flow and generate electricity.
Home and business owners around the world, are installing solar panel systems on their roofs to utilize this clean, renewable way to generate power.

Top motivations for home and business owners–and even some renters, to make the switch from fossil fuels to solar power
 
Solar is much better for the environment

Unlike conventional power, solar produces no harmful emissions that devastate the environment. It’s a clean, renewable process that uses the most basic of all resources: the sun. Even the power used to produce the PV cells is paid back soon after.
 
Power from the sun is a wise home investment
 
In a challenging real estate market, solar panels can be the difference in selling your house or not. Solar panels provide an added bonus that gives potential buyers a reason to consider your house over others as their next home. Plus, in most states, solar panels will not increase your property taxes. 38 states currently have property tax exemptions that exclude solar panel systems from being considered in the valuation of a property for taxation purposes.
 
Solar energy systems are very strong and durable

Solar panels have no moving parts, and so are not damaged easily.  This lowers the chance of an interruption in service. Solar panels are exhaustively tested to be sure that they can withstand high winds and extreme weather conditions, such as hail and heavy snowfall. If something should occur that damages your solar panels, many systems come with a 30-year warranty, guaranteed by the original installer, that covers damage to the panels.
