9.1.1.4 Solar Energy Causes Less Power Loss
“Electricity must be distributed to end-consumers through vast networks from big
power plants. Long distance transmissions cause power losses. Ever wondered what
solar panels are used for? They’re supposed to get energy from the sun on your roof.
Because of the short reach, rooftop solar power is helpful in increasing the electricity
production. The money is domestic and as a result you are in charge of your own
bills and energy use. Solar power systems are also stable and therefore reduce the
risk of service failure” [9].
9.1.1.5 Solar Power Increases Protection Of the Grid
“We are less at risk of experiencing blackouts or brownouts, because more of us
turn to solar power. Each UK household that has solar cells built, functions as a
small power station. In effect, this gives us more control over the electricity grid,
particularly in terms of natural or human-caused disasters. Through the aid of solar
panel grants you will still be paying out to sell electricity back to the grid” [9].
9.1.1.6 Solar Power Creates Jobs and Economic Growth
Solar power will contribute to our national economy. The more people who opt for
solar, the more companies will need to install solar panels. It provides new jobs for
eligible workers, and thereby keeps the economy growing. For example, the UK will
become the second largest solar employer in 2015, with 35,000 workers, and the
largest solar photovoltaic (PV) panel market in the continent’s installations.
9.1.1.7 Solar Power Is a Free Energy Source
“The sun gives us more energy than we will ever need and no one can monopolize
the sunlight. Your solar power system will start saving money as soon as it’s turned
on; however, the solar power’s long-term benefits are best seen. The longer you have
your solar power system, the more you can enjoy the benefits of solar power and help
for the climate. Solar energy, in addition to solar electricity, has a second application.
We frequently associate solar energy with electricity acquired by photovoltaic panels,
but the energy generated by the sun can be used in heating as well. This process is
achieved through the installation of solar thermal systems which effectively turn the
sunlight into heating solutions” [9].
