One of the most well-noted benefits of going solar is reduced greenhouse gas emissions. When you use the sun to provide energy to your home, you reduce your dependence on the electric companies. This allows you to play your part in protecting the environment by reducing CO2 emissions and conserving energy.
One of the most well-noted benefits of going solar is reduced greenhouse gas emissions. When you use the sun to provide energy to your home, you reduce your dependence on the electric companies. This allows you to play your part in protecting the environment by reducing CO2 emissions and conserving energy. On top of that, you can save money each month on your utility bills and take control of your energy needs.
What are Greenhouse Gas Emissions?
According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), greenhouse gases trap heat and make the planet warmer. Carbon dioxide is a type of greenhouse gas that enters our atmosphere through burning fossil fuels like natural gas, coal, and oil. The main sources of greenhouse gas emissions are transportation (28%), electricity (28%), industry (22%), commercial & residential (11%), and agriculture (9%). As you can see, electricity production is a large contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.
CO2 emissions are a big problem for our planet because they contribute to the greenhouse effect. If greenhouse gases continue to rise, the average temperature on the Earth’s surface will increase and affect the composition of the atmosphere, sending energy in all different directions.
How Solar Energy Lowers Your Carbon Footprint
Solar power reduces CO2 emissions by providing a clean and renewable source of energy. The panels that are installed on your home collect energy from the sun and convert it into usable electricity. This process does not rely on fossil fuels or other products and none of the energy is wasted because it can be stored on the grid for future use.
Moreover, solar energy reduces water pollution because PV panels do not need water to operate as other manufacturing processes do. Sunlight is converted into electricity without the need for local water supplies and solar energy doesn’t pollute our waterways like fossil fuels do.
By switching to solar powered energy, you can drastically reduce your household’s carbon footprint, which is the total greenhouse gas emissions caused by your home. Additional ways to support this lifestyle include driving less, eating more local and organic food, planting a garden, line drying clothes, and unplugging your devices at night.
One Step Closer to Global Change
You might think that switching to solar power is only beneficial if everyone does it, but change has to start somewhere. Your home will make a difference, and it can prompt other people in the neighborhood to make the change too! A lot of homeowners are interested in solar power but don’t know where to start. If you can save money and reduce emissions, your friends and neighbors will want to also.
