The switch from fossil fuels to solar

It is certainly not a mystery why we are seeing a solar energy revolution around the world. The need for clean energy has never been a bigger priority in light of the climate-related weather events that have lashed the world in recent years. Climate scientists understand that many global weather catastrophes are caused by the continued warming of the planet. While policymakers in some countries (including the United States) refuse to accept the facts, others are trumping Trump by investing heavily in renewable energy sources.

Fossil fuels are the cause of global climate problems

Currently, the world continues to depend heavily on coal, oil, and natural gas to meet its energy needs. However, the overuse of these energy sources has a drastic impact on our environment, which has been diligently documented. As their supplies dwindle, they will become too expensive, difficult to extract, and will also have a devastating impact on the environment.
Eco-friendly sources of energy, also known as “green energy”  or renewable energy sources, have received tremendous attention and acceptance in the last few years as governments, organizations, and people globally are embracing their environmental responsibilities.
Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, water, snow, and rain. In addition to not harming the environment, these energy sources will never be exhausted as they are continuously replenished.

Projected global market for energy

With a few exceptions, fossil fuels dominate the power sector and will continue to do so in the near future. But solar is becoming cheaper and more efficient and many countries are seeing the wisdom of adopting solar and other renewable energy choices. Within the European Union, renewable energy had a 24.3 percent share of the total energy produced from all sources. The amount of renewable energy produced in Europe increased by 84.4 percent between 2003 and 2013. Germany remains the leader in solar power. The renewable energy sector is almost evenly distributed between modern and traditional renewable sources. Modern renewables include solar, wind, hydropower, and geothermal. Traditional renewable energy sources include biomass, which is usually employed in rural regions of developing countries. Of the global energy market share, renewables contributed an estimated 8.2 percent while traditional renewables accounted for about 8.5 percent.

There has never been a better time to install a solar energy system!
