The Top 3 Environmental Benefits of Going Solar 

We know that solar can financially repay us and reduce our bills in a very short time, but what exactly are the environmental benefits?

1. Reduced water consumption

Australia is one of the driest continents on the planet, and our water resources are precious. While electricity production is dependent on thousands of litres of water each year, photovoltaic cells do not need water to generate electricity. The only water needed for a solar system comes with the rain, which cleans your panels when they get dusty!

2. Reduced air pollution
One of the biggest benefits of solar energy is that it results in very few air pollutants. Methods of powering homes through natural gas or fossil fuel-generated electricity often lead to harmful by-products, such as carbon dioxide and methane. Air pollution has been linked to a long list of serious health problems and using the sun to generate more of our power means fewer harmful emissions being released into the air we breathe.

3. Lowering your household’s carbon footprint
Solar energy is abundant (at least for the next 5 billion years or so) and best of all, it’s free! But solar energy also affords us energy independence. Solar takes the strain off the grid and reduces the amount of CO2 emitted to produce energy on your behalf. Over your solar system’s lifetime (receiving average sunlight), you could be reducing CO2 emissions by over 100 tonnes (that’s the weight of 100 or more cars!), reducing your household’s carbon footprint and actively contributing to the Australian Renewable Energy Target.
