Benefits of Solar Power

The use of PV energy is a very important socially acceptable method of producing sustainable clean energy and increasing the use and up-take of this technology requires coordinated support and attention. PV arrays can be built ranging from a few milli-watts up to a multi-megawatt range. PV modules can be part of a consumer product, mounted on roofs of houses, integrated in a building skin or disseminated as large power stations on the ground. Due to system modularity, it is easy to serve energy needs in dispersed and isolated communities making PV power a very desirable, flexible and valuable source of energy. Solar energy is a decisive renewable energy source. Solar energy will help secure genuine levels of protection for the environment. Every kWh of generated solar power prevents the release of around 0.7kg of harmful CO2 into the environment. It is expected that the demand for installed PV power will grow exponentially within two decades, illustrating the need to ensure supply of feedstock material which is capable of meeting: increasing demand, the cost of material does not limit PV as a sustainable energy option and that quality and technology align with the sectors expectations.....
Thats why I am a Solar Engineer :)
