Each day, more energy
falls to the Earth from the
Sun's rays than the
total amount of energy
the planet's 5.9 billion inhabitants
would consume in 27 years!


WHY GO SOLAR?

* Independence from power companies

* No fuel costs - no fuel source required

* Reliability - works in all weather conditions

* Durability - most PV modules available today show no degradation after 10 years of use. PV modules have 20-25 year warranties on power output

* Reduced sound pollution - works silently with no movements

* Low maintenance costs - require only periodic inspection and occasional maintenance (less than any other power system)

* Tax breaks and Federal grant incentives - sales tax exemption on PV products

* Low interest rates on loans - offered by loaning institutuons for PV systems and installations

* safety - no combustible fuels. Very safe when properly designed and installed

* Electrical grid decentralization - reduces stress on electrical grid

* Cleaner energy - environmentally friendly, and produces a more consistant output that is less taxing on electrical equipment.


What Considerations are there in Choosing Photovoltaics?

* Initial cost - a greater initial financial investment than in conventional power systems

* Efficiency improvements - A high-efficiency approach to energy consumption greatly influences the cost effectiveness of the system

* Energy storage - The size, cost and complexity of a PV system increases if the system incorporates batteries for the storage of energy

* Variability of available solar radiation - climate, site conditions, and weather require many system design modifications to optimize power output of any solar-based energy system
