You may have heard about the hype on solar, but are you ready to be absolutely SOLD and become a spokesperson for our friend, the Sun?
By helping to promote green energy sources like solar, you can speak truth to (sun) power and the many benefits that come from adding solar panels to your home!
This article is for any Earth Warrior passionate about turning the tides on climate change, and who wouldn’t mind making some money getting people on board this renewable era.
You’ll soon learn what it means to be a Palmetto Ambassador, but before we talk business, let’s allow ourselves to get excited about solar!
Cool facts to know about solar:
More energy hits the earth from the sun in one hour than the whole world uses all year. (In the numbers – approximately 120,000 terawatts (TW) hits the earth’s surface each day. Over the course of a year, the world uses a mere 15 TW of energy.)
The cost of solar has fallen 99% since 1977! Back then, it cost $77 per watt for a simple solar cell. According to Solar Energy Industries Association and GTM Research's Q3 2017 Solar Market Insight Report, the cost of a solar cell now is $0.21 per watt.
Solar power is noise pollution-free. It has no moving parts and does not require any additional fuel, other than sunlight, to produce power.
Solar energy has been used by plants and microorganisms since the beginning of time.
Aside from occasional cleaning solar panels are virtually maintenance-free and will last for years, many panels have guarantees in excess of 20 years. Once solar panels are installed there are no recurring costs.
Solar panels actually increase the value of your home by up to $25,000! This is like having extra money in the bank.
The value of the U.S. solar market in 2020 was $25.3 billion!
It’s estimated that 18.9 million households in the U.S. can be powered by solar energy.
Today, demand for solar in the United States is at an all-time high. The amount of solar power installed in the U.S. has increased more than 23 times over the past eight years -- from 1.2 gigawatts (GW) in 2008 to an estimated 27.4 GW at the end of 2015. That’s enough energy to power the equivalent of 5.4 million average American homes, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association.
The U.S. is currently the third-largest solar market in the world and is positioned to become the second. (China is, by far, the solar leader in the world!)
