The Ultimate Solar Energy FAQ

Posted on July 29, 2015

How does solar energy work

Solar energy is on the rise. For the past 15 years, use and installation has increased by 20% on an annual basis.
Want to know more about solar energy? Here’s everything you need to know about:

What is solar renewable energy?
Solar renewable energy uses the energy of the sun to generate clean and efficient electricity.

How does solar energy work?
Solar energy uses solar panels to convert the power of the sun into electricity. The solar panels are something called photovoltaic which allows the protons in the solar energy to be converted and stored for later use.

How much does solar energy cost?
While solar panels cost an average of $50,000 per home, many states such as Massachusetts offer tax rebates and solar incentives that make the cost a little less burdensome. Plus, once solar panels are installed, they are essentially a one-off deal, requiring little to no maintenance and free electricity for most of the year.

What are the benefits of solar energy?
Solar energy offers a multitude of benefits for people and the planet at large. As previously mentioned, solar renewable energy installation is often incentivised with solar rebates that effectively reimburse individuals for installing solar panels. Once installed, the solar panels require little maintenance and provide free, clean and sustainable energy for decades to come. Solar energy is of course energy efficient and will help save a significant amount of money off of your yearly energy costs.
Solar rebates and cost benefits aside, one of the most vital advantages of solar energy is the positive impact that it has on the environment. Solar energy leaves no trace on our environment; it leaves no pollutants and renders no harmful effects to its surroundings. Solar energy is a cost effective and efficient way to help reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the threat of global warming. As citizens of this planet, that is the least that we can do.
