Solar Powered Houses & the Environment

We often focus on the impact a solar powered house has on your budget. After all, solar is one of the most stable yet profitable financial investments you can make, with an average overall ROI of 12%.  However, let’s not overlook all the environmental benefits installing even a modest 2.5kw solar power system can have over its 25+ year lifetime.

• 300 barrels of oil not produced
• 270,000 miles not driven
• 1,100 lbs of acid rain emissions not discharged
• 550 lbs of smog emissions not produced
• 220,000 lbs of greenhouse gases not emitted

And if you’d rather have a positive figure, installing a 2.5kw solar power system is equivalent to planting 500 trees.  By replacing the fossil fuel energy you use with renewable solar energy, you’re not only reducing the amount of oil you use, but also sharply cutting down on all the emissions associated with transporting, processing, and burning it.
