They would like to share their thoughts on how utilising solar energy can greatly benefit our environment.

 

There is a lot of talk about going green and using solar energy but what does it all really mean? As today’s society relies heavily on natural gas, coal and oil; these fossil fuels are harmful to the environment by creating problems of air and water pollution, resource depletion, and the greenhouse effect, all of which are becoming increasingly unacceptable and unaffordable. Solar is the cleanest energy source available - in fact it’s 100 per cent green and is freely available for us to use.

Reducing our reliance on fossil fuels

Utilising solar energy means we don’t need to rely on fossil fuels like coal and oil to provide us with electricity for our daily needs. In Australia alone, 37 per cent of our greenhouse gas emissions come from coal-powered electricity alone! When we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, we are effectively conserving our natural resources for future generations.

Less environmental pollution

By using solar we reduce environmentally harmful waste that is usually created from burning fossil fuels for energy. Solar energy systems generate no waste and are low maintenance - making it easy for you to do your bit in reducing pollution.

Offsetting carbon emissions the easy way

By choosing to use solar energy for your daily energy needs, you can help reduce your carbon footprint on our environment. Did you know that installing a 3kW solar energy system helps to offset the same carbon emissions as not driving a car for 12 months?
