Why Solar Power
Solar power is one of our most viable solutions for clean,
renewable energy. Here are the most popular reasons our clients have
chosen to go solar:
Economic Benefits of Solar Power
Today’s solar technology has revolutionized the clean tech
industry, making solar power the cost-effective and reliable choice for
renewable energy.
- Profitable – 6 years simple payback with 15%+ ROI for our GS SeriesTM solar power systems – one of the shortest payback periods for renewable energy in Ontario
- Reliable – 20+ year life expectancies for GS SeriesTM solar panels
- Easy – can be installed faster and easier than renewable or conventional energy generators
- Effective – generates the most power during peak demand, when electricity is the most expensive
- Installed anywhere – location opportunities are endless
- Low maintenance – with no moving parts, panels require minimal maintenance
- Value-adding – increases your property value
- Protects roofs – panels actually extend the life of your roof by protecting it from harsh weather
- Marketable – counts toward green building
certification and ratings, such as internationally-recognized Leadership
in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®)
Environmental Solar Energy Advantages
Solar power is a viable way to achieve environmental targets, such as reducing or offsetting carbon emissions.
- Clean – producing energy from solar power emits no greenhouse gases, air pollutants or harmful chemicals
- Renewable – energy from the sun is never depleted.
In fact, in the span of one hour, Earth absorbs more solar energy than
the world uses in an entire year, making it our most abundant energy
source
- Low-impact – installation and operation of solar
power systems do not require large amounts of land or resources,
compared to other energy generation plants
- Recyclable – panels can be broken down and recycled at end-of-use
- Important – every watt of solar power that is
produced and contributed to the grid reduces the need for electricity
generated from polluting sources such as coal, oil and gas.
Social Advantages of Solar Power
Solar power is the most attractive energy choice for our society and for future generations.
- Future-oriented – supports the health of the environment and our children for generations to come
- Unobtrusive – solar power is clean, inconspicuous, and does not make any sound
- Supports energy independence – choosing solar power, contributes to Canada’s energy independence
- Supports local economy – generating energy through solar power supports Ontario’s economy, creates green jobs and stabilizes energy prices
