Solar is the fastest growing energy source in the world, and for good reason. It offers a limitless supply of clean, safe, renewable energy for heat and power. And its more affordable, more efficient, and more reliable than ever.

Some of the advantages of Solar and other renewable power sources are: greater independence from imported fossil fuels, a cleaner environment, diversity of power sources.

There are currently three primary solar technologies:

• Solar (photovoltaic) energy allows electricity to be produced in the place where it is consumed, a practice known as distributed generation. Sunlight hours often coincide with peak power demand, so solar panels produce electricity when it is most needed. Reducing peak load through large-scale solar generation improves air quality and reduces the need for new polluting power plants.
• Solar thermal systems provide heat for hot water and space-heating systems for residential or commercial buildings, and can provide energy for air-conditioning in many commercial applications.
• Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is a solar thermal technology that can provide electricity at utility scale for central power plants.

Enjoy the benefits of solar power:

• Energy independence
• Protection against rising electrical rates
• A sound financial investment
• Reduce pollution
• Reduce our dependence on foreign oil
