Why Solar Energy is Important?
Let me start from why is solar energy important to you?


Before that could be answered, let's take a look at three importance of solar energy's.
• Historical importance to humankind
• Modern importance to humankind
• Importance to today's homeowners
Historical Importance of Solar Energy
There are many reasons why solar energy is important to humankind. Its importance to human survival goes back to prehistoric times.
Prehistoric cultures used the Sun's energy for crucial activities such as warming their dwellings, drying their clothing, and curing their food. Solar energy was so important for these cultures that many of them actually worshiped and revered the Sun.
As cultures developed, some even created laws related to accessing solar energy. For example, the ancient Roman Empire had a law that forbid anyone from constructing a dwelling that blocked the Sun from their neighbor's home.
In the America's, the Anasazi cliff dwellers also considered solar energy an important resource. They built their dwellings along the south-facing side of cliffs in the current American Southwest in order to use the power of the Sun to warm their homes.

Modern Importance of Solar Energy
During modern times, we've become reliant on fossil fuels. This has allowed us to develop our cultures and economies tremendously, but has come at a steep price.
Due to the side-effects of using fossil fuels, the use of solar energy has become important to mankind once again. Some of the reasons solar energy is important are...
• Global energy demand is increasing
• Continued usage of fossil fuels is damaging our environment
• Solar energy is one of the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels

Importance of Solar Energy to Homeowners
Some of these reasons are why solar energy are import to us…
• Having a positive impact on our environment
• Solar energy saves us money now and in the future
• Allows us to have energy independence
But at an individual level, everyone is motivated by different things. Some people are interested in solar energy for the environmental benefits, others see solar energy as a way to reduce their electricity costs, and yet others look at solar energy as a way to leave a positive legacy for their children.

Why the use of Solar Energy?
Why the use of solar energy? Because of the positive impacts it can have for you...

As a homeowner, this is one of the first questions that comes up when you are considering the use of solar energy for your home. Every homeowner will have their own specific reasons for choosing solar, in which I can categories it in three group:
• Environmental Impact
• Financial Benefits
• Energy Independence
Environmental Impact
Many of us choose to use solar energy because of the positive impact it will have on the environment.
Global warming and climate change are major issues facing the world today... and you can be part of the solution by taking advantage of solar energy!
Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy doesn't produce the harmful pollutants responsible for increasing the greenhouse effect which leads to global warming.
Solar energy is a clean and sustainable source of energy that you can use for solar, electricity, solar heating, solar cooling, and solar lighting.
By using solar energy, you...
• Will reduce your carbon footprint, and
• Can feel good about being a responsible global citizen
Financial Benefits
Another key factor for by considering solar energy is the financial aspect.
The financial benefits of solar energy can be seen in reduced utility payments as you use solar energy for electricity, heating, cooling, and lighting. In addition, by reducing your homes operating costs you are also increasing the value of your home.
As you can see, taking advantage of solar economics will...
• Save you money NOW, and
• Provide you with a sound investment for your FUTURE
Energy Independence
The third answer to the question "Why the use of solar energy" is the energy independence it will give you.
By using solar energy, you will reduce your dependence on the utility companies. You will no longer need to have electricity delivered to your home as you will be able to produce your own solar power electricity. Solar technology will also free you from using traditional energy sources for heating and cooling. All of this means you will finally be free from rising utility rates!
Solar energy also gives you a level of reliability and security that other energy sources can't match. When your neighbors don't have power due to an outage, you won't be affected since your home generates its own electricity and heat (this is also known as micro generation).
In addition to the personal security you will gain by freeing yourself from your local utility companies, it will also reduce your lamentation on excess fully utility bill.
SO, Why the use of solar energy?
In summary, the answer is...
• You can make a positive impact on the environment
• You can get financial benefits now and in the future
• You can gain energy independence, reliability, and security
So, what are still waiting for?
