Solar Saves Hard Earned Money

Posted on by

One innovative idea that has been growing in popularity all over the world is the use of solar panels. Solar panels offer a variety of ways to help people’s lives financially and protect the environment, a key of sustainability. Solar is a natural resource and the human population should take advantage of renewable energy sources. The use of solar panels creates zero pollution and zero greenhouse gasses to be emitted into the atmosphere. With solar energy, there is an increase in moving away from importing and exporting oil and fossil fuels that harm the environment. Then in regards to financially, solar panels are a future return on one’s investment. Although they can be expensive to install, eventually there will be a return on investment to the point where some households even create a surplus of energy. This will minimize electricity bills in the future for many people. With the use of solar panels, people can receive the electricity to power their homes and more importantly shift toward electric vehicles. If the sun is paying for the electric vehicle batteries, people will save money on their homes and cars. How can anyone be against saving money while also saving the environment? In the future there will be minimized costs of installing solar panels which will benefit all classes of people.

  1. You make a really good point about the financial benefit of solar energy. I think also a shift away from fossil fuels and other sources of energy that we import from other countries could reduce economic points of contention in times of war. For example, the price of gas is so high right now because of our ban with Russia, however if we were less reliant on oil and other imports this would not be the case

  2. This reminds me of what I had said about solar thermal heating. I also used the arguments of no greenhouse gas being emitted as well. I also loved how you brought up the fact that this may cause a switch to the usage of electric vehicles, since it’s been brought up many times in class the impact of switching all vehicles to at least hybrid will have on the environment.
