As the prices of fuel continues to rise and the economy continues to struggle, engineers have now taken steps into using sunshine as a source of environmentally friendly power. There are basically three main advantages of using solar energy and they are the reduction in the release of green house gases, never-ending source of energy and the increase in employment.
Firstly, using solar energy, it is unlike using the other fuels where CO2 is released and hence causing global warming. Solar energy is just capturing the energy from the sun and then supplying energy without the release of anything harmful substance.
Secondly, because there is now a high demand in the usage of energy, the price of fuels are becoming more and more expensive and they are running low and the fuels that we have now will not be able to last us for long. Sun light is one source of energy that will constantly be there to supply us, all we have to do is to capture and provide them to the consumers.
Thirdly, according to BEN (2008), Florida’s solar rebate program has saved enough energy to power 31,000 homes for an entire month and hence, there are more jobs like manufacturing, marketing and installing of solar systems to capture more solar energy for usage in the long run.
In conclusion, using sunlight as a source of energy benefits us in many ways. It helps in lesser release of CO2, provides us with never-ending energy so we do not have to worry about running out of energy and it creates jobs for us. There is another major concern where consumers get to keep more money in their pockets as they do not have to worry about paying the increasing prices of the fuels.
