In the pursuit of progress and development, man has damaged the environment terribly. The aftermath and fallout of the excessive use of fossil fuels has adversely affected man. The amount of greenhouse gases has increased so much that the balloon of our environment has been heating up threateningly. Mass deforestation in the name of urbanization and industrialization have further worsened the situation.

Going solar is a decision that has enormous impact in today’s world of climate change and the unpredictability of rising energy costs The Sun is the most important part of our solar system. It is also the source of heat and light on the Earth which is harnessed and converted to Solar Energy using different technologies.

Solar Power is an eco-friendly, clean, and renewable source of energy. It is also known as Green Energy.Solar energy is the linchpin of this clean energy revolution. Today, it supplies a third of global electricity; well before the century is out, most of the world’s energy needs will be met by converting sunlight into electricity, heat, and portable fuels. When that happens, the 21st century will be remembered as the one in which humankind finally tamed the sun.

I'mglad you’re here. I gathered the few economic benefits to consider when you choose rooftop solar.

Solar Saves on Energy Costs : We all want lower utility bills.

Check the utility rates in your location.Chances are your utility bill is higher than you want it to be

You find yourself constantly reminding your family to turn off the lights, stop doing so much laundry and don’t run the dishwasher unless it’s packed full. All noble efforts, to be sure, but often hard to accomplish. Heaven forbid if you have a heatwave. The stress of the inevitable increase in your utility bill makes you wonder if turning on the air conditioner is worth it. When you choose to install solar panels, or get solar panels + plus solar battery storage, you can bring the total cost down to a manageable level (averaged over the course of a year). Homeowners with high electricity rates from their local utilities are the ones who save the most when they convert to power from the sun. But you’d be surprised that most solar rooftop systems can save every homeowner thousands of dollars over the life of the product - which is two decades at the minimum (and probably more).

There are solar Federal and State Incentives for going solar.

If you haven’t discovered these tax deductions and credits yet, you’ll be pleased to know that you can deduct 30% of the cost of your purchased home solar system from your federal income taxes (your personal income tax credit).

And there are many state and local governments that offer property and sales tax exemptions. Don’t forget to ask about cash rebates! These rebates help you reduce your costs even more, in some cases by as much as 10 to 20%.6 Get more details on federal and state incentives here.

Own your solar system? Your home value goes up.

The research is in. A primary solar driver is an increase in the value of your home, making it a safe and wise investment. The right size installation can net you a possible $20k increase in home value, or more, if you plan to sell.

Swimming Pool: Swimming pools bring greatest joys of summer to both children and their parents.Everyone is excited to go to the pool, except in winters when it is just too cold to enjoy.Adding a solar blanket can solve this problem.A solar blanket is directly used for the heating purpose, and no other installations are needed.

Solar Power Pumps: For making the Rooftop Solar Heater System work efficiently, you need to circulate enough water in the pipes connected.For this purpose, a pump is required.Uses of Solar Power Technology Pump – a DC pump can fulfil the task.The capital investment may increase, but in the long run, it saves a lot of money and also provides value to your home.Most of the folks would say great!!! But what if there is no sun or clouds have covered the sun?? It’s a Good question!One can use conventional electricity from local utility grid to run a pump in the absence of the solar energy.Or, a battery backup system can be connected to the rooftop solar power systemto run the pump.

It is high time we started using solar-powered vehicles tosolar-generated power to do our day to day work. The Government must act proactively in this regard. It must provide the solar power generationinfrastructure and electric vehicles to people. Otherwise, the delicate balloon of our environment will blow up leading to the collapse of the entire lifesystem on our planet. Future is not science fiction, but rather still an achievable goal. To arrive at it, the world must address the many challenges of realizing solar energy’s sky-high potential—and that will require sharply increasing investment in innovation.
