Solar Power as a Renewable Energy Source
Solar energy is generated by harnessing the light and heat radiated by the sun and converting it for use in homes. It's one of the Earth’s greatest energy resources.
How solar energy works
Solar power is renewable energy generated by capturing the light and heat radiated by the sun. Sunlight is absorbed by photovoltaic (PV) cells in solar panels that permit photons to release electrons free from atoms, creating an electric current.
Clean Energy Generation
- Solar energy is seeing rapid growth in the U.S. as more people are learning of its advantages
- There are no greenhouse gas emissions or waste byproducts resulting from the generation of solar energy and it is a completely silent process.1
- Solar energy is a natural resource
You shouldn’t have to choose between caring for the environment and getting a great price on electricity.
