Solar Energy Solutions – Why Residential Solar Energy Systems Are Environmentally Friendly

Star Plus Energy Solutions provides home and business owners with the ability to save money on energy costs while decreasing their environmental impact. Solar energy technologies provide light and heat directly to a building, or they can be combined with storage systems for longer-term usage. Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight into electricity, and solar thermal collectors (SHC) provide hot water for heating and cooling. Larger-scale concentrating solar power systems use lenses or mirrors to focus sunlight, which then heats a working fluid to generate electricity.

During the manufacturing process, some of the chemicals used in the production of photovoltaic panels are released into the environment. However, the amount is not significant enough to cause environmental problems or harm. Solar Energy Solutions takes environmental concerns seriously and continually strives to reduce the release of these chemicals.

Our residential systems are designed to be as environmentally friendly as possible. Solar Energy Solutions uses innovative design to maximize the number of panels while minimizing their physical impact on the property. This also helps to increase the energy capacity of each system.

When deciding whether to invest in a solar system, homeowners should consider the upfront capital required and how quickly they will be able to break even with their investment. The solar break-even point is calculated by subtracting the value of any applied incentives and rebates from your total solar system plus installation cost. You then add in your annual electricity bill savings (comparing your pre-solar to post-solar utility bills). The number you get is the number of years it will take for your solar system to pay for itself.
