By embracing solar power, we can substantially lower the levels of pollutants such as particulate matter (PM), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2), all of which are known to have detrimental effects on respiratory health. The environmental advantages of harnessing solar energy are undeniable.
With solar energy, people can escape big companies and have the security of creating their own natural energy. However, solar energy often creates more energy than a home or business needs. In such cases, solar owners can sell their unused energy back to electricity companies for credit or profit.
By adopting solar power, individuals contribute to mitigating the adverse impacts associated with fossil fuel consumption, fostering a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. 2. Preserving Nature’s Gifts: Solar Energy and Resource Conservation
Wind and solar power can feasibly produce a large share of domestic generation and in doing so provide major air-quality and climate benefits 1, 2, 3, 4.
This relatively slow decline to marginal wind and solar benefits combined with rapid growth in wind and solar generation results in growing annual air-quality and climate benefits within the time period analysed.
