Why Solar

Some reasons solar energy can be a preferred option include:
 
Environmental Objectives – Using solar energy is a practical way to  reduce carbon emissions and meet commitments to environmental objectives.
 
Hedging Against Future Price Increases – With almost all costs known in advance, solar energy systems offer excellent protection against future price increases of electricity.
 
Proven and Durable Technology – Solar energy systems have been commercially available since the 1970s, and represent a proven and well studied energy solution. Most solar energy systems have 20 to 30 year life expectancies, and often carry warranties of up to 20 years on major components.

Low Maintenance – Many photovoltaic systems are solid state, with no moving parts, and thus require little maintenance other than the occasional need to be washed.
 
LEED® Building Certification – Using solar energy counts toward achieving Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building status
 
Roof Shading – Installing solar energy systems on building rooftops can provide additional savings up to 5% of building energy from their shading effect alone.
