Why pay for electricity? Generate it yourself!
Increasingly, homeowners, businesses and governments are turning to
solar energy as a way to power their electricity needs. Why?
Well, most people believe it is because solar power systems generate
clean energy and are a solution to global warming. Although, this is very true and benefits are enormous, more and more governments are recognizing the many other benefits that solar energy systems provide, and adding incentives to help more people
go solar.

The Dirty Truth
Every time you switch on your computer, washing machine, TV, or toaster, there is a fossil fuel power plant at the other end of the wire generating huge amounts of pollution. These power plant emissions contribute to poor air quality, acid rain, and climate change.
Electricity itself is not the problem. If we generated 100% of our electricity from the wind and sun, there would be no carbon emissions. But with the electric grid still heavily dependent on fossil fuels, electricity generation is responsible for about 40% of annual carbon emissions in the United States. According to the EPA, the average U.S. household produces approximately 8 metric tons of CO2 a year—that’s more carbon than the average passenger car emits in a year (approximately 5 metric tons).
The single best thing you can do for the environment is to take control of your home’s energy mix. With solar power being produced by the end users, less investment required into the utility's transmission and distribution grid (which is aging considerably and in desperate need of upgrades) as well as into peaking power plants. The more solar power systems deployed across the grid, the less investment is needed into those ugly power lines and polluting electric generation stations.
