Solar energy produces clean, renewable energy and enhances the climate. As a fossil fuel alternative, it eliminates carbon footprint domestically and globally and minimizes harmful greenhouse gases around the world. Solar is considered to have a significant environmental effect. Most electricity is produced by fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas in the world. It is costly and detrimental to the atmosphere to produce and use energy from fossil fuels.

In comparison, solar energy is free and plentiful – we could power the whole planet one year if we could harness all of the sun's energy shining on Earth for just one hour! By investing in solar energy, you will reduce our dependence on fossil fuels in favor of one of our most available and coherent energy sources: our sun. Thus, utilizing solar energy from the sun is useful for the environment in numerous ways as it is a viable and cheap source of energy.
