Solar Energy Increases

Posted on by

One source of non fossil-fuel based energy that has been increasing in popularity is solar energy. We can use this type of energy to power homes and the electricity in buildings through the use of solar panels. This is a renewable type of energy source that is not harmful to the environment and is sustainable because it can be regenerated on a daily basis. Solar panels have been increasing in popularity due to the decrease in cost. This makes this type of energy more accessible to access in many populations and socioeconomic groups. There are 92.7 billion solar panels globally and 1.47 million solar panels across the United States. The feasibility of using solar energy is increasing more as time goes on and the cost for solar panels decreases. Hopefully the usage of solar energy only continues to increase because it is an easy, renewable source of energy to use that does not put fossil fuels or other harmful substances into the atmosphere.

  1. I think that solar energy will continue to become more and more popular as costs to produce these panels continue to lower. I also think that more people are realizing that they can actually end up saving a lot of money if they put solar panels on their house in the long term, even though the short term cost is quite high

  2. I think that solar energy is increasingly becoming more and more viable as a strong alternative to fossil fuel energy, but I think it’s also relatively important that it’s also used in conjunction with other green energy that can produce more immediate amounts of energy, and use solar for more long-term energy storage.

  3. Solar energy has become more popular I wonder what initiatives can be taken by communities outside the united states to make it more available for people worldwide. Thank you for sharing this information.

  4. 92.7 billion solar panels worldwide is a pretty astonishing statistic. Thanks for your research!
