Advantages of solar pv (photovoltaic) energy

Solar PV energy is clean energy

One main reason to opt for solar energy is knowing you’re doing something good for the environment. Unlike traditional energy sources, when PV solar panels create electricity, they don't emit harmful greenhouse gases, pollute groundwater or deplete any natural resources. In addition, you help protect the planet by cutting back on your dependence on nonrenewable energy. Every time you turn to solar energy instead of using up fossil fuel, you help to keep the Earth's natural resources intact for a little while longer.

Solar PV energy is quiet and unobtrusive

You won’t have to worry that the sounds of solar energy will distract you while inside your home or in your backyard, like you would with some traditional generators or even clean energy alternatives. Unlike some energy delivery systems, solar PV energy is completely quiet and doesn't intrude into your daily activities. In the same way, photovoltaic solar panels are visually unobtrusive. Most homeowners choose to place photovoltaic solar panels on a rooftop where they're not necessarily visible from ground level, taking advantage of otherwise unused space and freeing up rest of the property for enjoyment. Even the installation of PV solar panels is simple and unobtrusive, with no interruption to your home or lifestyle while it's happening.

Solar PV energy lowers your energy bills

Solar PV energy systems can lower your energy bills in several significant ways. Because you're generating some of your own electricity, you're able to cut down drastically on what you pay your energy provider. If you live in a region where energy prices rise and fall with energy demand, you're in luck. Many government entities provide subsidies to help cover the initial costs of setting up PV solar panels through tax rebates and other incentive programs.

PV solar panels require little maintenance

Operating costs for photovoltaic solar panels are minimal, even when compared to other clean energy sources. This is largely due to the fact that solar panels need little maintenance, even over the long term. Since there are essentially no moving parts, there's nothing to break and no need for regular lubrication to keep things running. They just keep working on their own. In fact, Boeing points out that PV solar panels were developed to provide power to satellites, where maintenance is impossible. PV solar panels still power just about every satellite functioning in space today, demonstrating their long life and reliability.

Sunrun gives homeowners a piece of mind by offering a full service warranty for the lifetime of your system when you are in a solar lease or solar power purchase agreement. No wonder every six minutes a Sunrun home solar system is being installed.

PV solar systems can be customized

Whatever your energy needs are, solar panels can be configured to meet them. From the largest mansion to a trendy two-bedroom house, you can design the exact system you need to generate the energy you plan to use. Photovoltaic solar panels provide clean, renewable energy that's easy on your wallet.

Every time you add up your monthly bills, you'll smile when you realize your savings through the year, and you have the added bonus of knowing you're doing something to help sustain the planet. Get your free solar quote today.
