Why Solar FAQs
Solar energy is not only sustainable, it is renewable and this means that we will never run out of it. It is about as natural a source of power as it is possible to generate electricity. The creation of solar energy requires little maintenance. Once the solar panels have been installed and are working at maximum efficiency there is only a small amount of maintenance required each year to ensure they are in working order. They are a silent producer of energy. There is absolutely no noise made from photovoltaic panels as they convert sunlight into usable electricity. There are continual advancements in solar panel technology which are increasing the efficiency and lowering the cost of production, thus making it even more cost effective. During operation solar electricity power plants produce zero emissions.
- It’s a clean and green energy resource.
- Boon to the mother earth in terms of cutting the dependence on Fossil Fuels. Reduces carbon emissions and thus effects of global warming.
- Enormous savings in terms of money. A typical solar system has an ROI of nearly 6 years considering current power tariffs.
- It has a huge life span of almost 25 years and its almost maintenance free.
- For tropical countries like India, its suited the most, as the peak output time matches with the peak load time. During the day and during summers the output is max.
- For many difficult locations, where grid supply is difficult to reach, sun is accessible and can be converted into power.
- Solar power generation has several advantages over other forms of electricity generation.
