How solar energy can save your money and the
environment

• Solar panel installation is slowly but surely
  gaining a foothold across the country and this
  should not come as a surprise. Not only Can you
  save on energy costs and become increasingly less
  reliant on electricity from the power grid, but
  you can also do your bit for the environment as
  the use of solar energy means giving a lot of
  relief to our planet. Let us look at some of the
  ways in which solar energy helps to save the
  environment and save money for you as well.

1. Using minimum water

• The above-mentioned toxic gases such as carbon
  dioxide and methane when released into the
  atmosphere not only cause air pollution but also
  contribute to the greenhouse effect that
  increases the temperature on the Earths surface.
  This, in turn, causes climate change. When solar
  energy is used, there is no fuel being burnt or
  emissions happening from energy production. This
  will go a long way in stabilizing our climate.
• 2. Air Pollution
• If you are living in India, you already know how
  bad is the quality of the air we breathe in.
  Fossil fuels generate harmful carbon dioxide and
  methane gas that causes major air pollution,
  which in effect causes asthma, allergies,
  pneumonia, heart attacks and even cancer. When we
  use the sun to generate electricity, you
  automatically take care of this menace.

3. Reduces the Greenhouse Effect

• The above-mentioned toxic gases such as carbon
  dioxide and methane when released into the
  atmosphere not only cause air pollution but also
  contribute to the greenhouse effect that
  increases the temperature on the Earths surface.
  This, in turn, causes climate change. When solar
  energy is used, there is no fuel being burnt or
  emissions happening from energy production. This
  will go a long way in stabilizing our climate.
• 4. Reduce carbon footprint
• Solar is called the cleanest source of energy and
  it is not without reason. Since solar panels do
  not use water, dont release harmful gases and is
  completely free to use there is no carbon dioxide
  being emitted from this means that there is no
  carbon footprint from your household or business.

5. Reduced reliance on fossil fuels

• Fossil fuels are finite sources of energy and we
  will all know that they will run out one day.
  Sunshine, however, has no such limitations. It is
  free to use and there are no limits on its usage.
  Reducing our reliance on finite sources of energy
  could mean lower energy prices, reduced
  greenhouse emissions and a future where energy is
  secure and available for everyone.
• 6. Solar Energy for Saving Money
• As mentioned earlier, solar power for home is not
  only easy on the environment, it also helps you
  save money.
• For example, a roof space of just 1010 feet, on
  top of a staircase room or even on top of an
  overhead water tank of most residential houses
  can have 1.5kW capacity of solar panels installed
  which can generate up to 6Wh units of electrical
  energy. This is enough to reduce dependence on
  grid electricity. Solar panels for a home in a
  typical household of 3-4 people in a 2-bedroom
  house, can mean a reduction of electricity costs
  by 60. If you are wondering about the price, a
  solar power plant of 1KW can range from Rs 60,000
  to Rs 90,000.

6. Solar Energy for Saving Money

• Its safe to say that solar is the only a source
  of energy where the cost of energy generation
  will keep going down in the future as the source
  of fuel (sunlight) is free and abundantly
  available. Solar panels last for up to 25 years
  and thus can produce electricity for 25 years
  without requiring any replacement. This means
  that the cost of setting up the panels is
  recovered within the first 4-6 years and after
  that, it is essentially a free source of energy
  for the rest of its functional life.
