How to Go Solar at Home
October 4, 2021
The sun sustains life on earth. Plants and animals need its rays to exist. But did you know that our closest star also has the capacity to power all our homes, cars, and businesses? According to the U.S. Department of Energy, just one hour of noontime summer sun meets our annual electricity demand, yet only about 6 percent of residential homes have solar panels in the U.S.
Solar power systems were first invented in the mid 1800s but it was only in the past few years that the technology took off and came down enough in price that it is more accessible to the masses. Nearly 20 states in the U.S. have set commitments targeting either 100 percent clean energy or zero emissions in the next two decades. Whether you are just researching, getting quotes, or ready to take the plunge, Sustainable America has assembled a list of important information and considerations to help you in your journey.
