HARNESS THE POWER OF THE SUN
Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, commonly seen on rooftops of homes and businesses, generate electricity directly from sunlight. In contrast, solar thermal technologies use the sun’s energy to produce heat, which can then be converted into electricity. Currently, we harness only a tiny fraction of this vast resource around one millionth as commercial energy. Take advantage of this abundant, renewable energy source to reduce your carbon footprint and promote sustainability.
BENEFITS OF SOLAR POWER
LOW IMPACT
Solar energy has the least negative impact on the environment compared to any other energy source. It does not produce greenhouse gases and does not pollute the water. It also requires very little water for its maintenance, unlike nuclear power plants for example, needing 20 times more water. Solar energy production does not create any noise, which is major benefit, since a lot of solar installations are in urban areas, such as domestic solar panels.
REDUCE ENERGY BILLS
Generating your own electricity means that you will be using less from the utility supplier. This will immediately translate to savings on your energy bill. Plus, you can also make money by selling the unused electricity, which you have generated, back to the grid.
The more energy you produce, the less you will need from the supplier which will increase your energy self reliance.
GRID SECURITY
The grid is less vulnerable to blackouts if there are many power plants which are spread out. A grid with high penetration of solar energy has thousands of energy production centres which are widely spread out. This improves the security of the grid in case of overload, natural or human-caused disasters.
ENERGY PRODUCTION
Energy demand tends to be higher in the 11:00-16:00 time frame and then early in the evening. Naturally, this is the period when the price of the electricity peaks. Solar energy happens to reach its maximum production capacity during those hours.
Electricity produced at that time has higher value than if it was generated at night. With the additional electricity input of solar energy, prices in those time frames could be driven down to a level close to those of night hours.
