Turning sunlight into electricity allows cities, towns, and neighborhoods to meet an increasing portion of their energy needs cost-effectively while also keeping energy dollars in their communities. Solar electric energy provides alternative power to high-cost, peak kilowatt hours, and shifts reliance to clean and renewable energy resources. This is not space age or futuristic technology.
Solar electricity is cost-effective now and available for our use.
It is an attractive alternative to fuel-burning, conventional sources of electricity for many reasons. PV is nonpolluting with no detectable emissions or odors. It is silent. It is modular and versatile makes it responsive to changing load requirements. With no moving parts, it is reliable and needs little maintenance.
