Why Solar Power is better than Fossil Fuel

More and more people are realizing the benefits of solar power and making the switch from the use of fossil fuel, prompting others to do so as well.

Companies are noticing this trend, and most large corporations have invested heavily in converting their entire facilities over to solar power. Countries like Germany and Japan have also made a name for themselves in the way they have taken advantage of natural sunlight to generate electricity—you won’t find anyone there complaining about coal emissions.

Solar power is a much better source of energy than fossil fuel in so many ways. It’s about time we take advantage of it. If you want to learn more about how solar power compares to fossil fuel as a source of energy, check out this list.

Solar power is a cleaner

Unlike fossil fuels, solar is a renewable energy source. This means that the sun will keep on shining and won’t run out of fuel anytime soon. And since using solar panels doesn’t involve burning anything, they don’t produce greenhouse gasses or other pollution like fossil fuels do. When you choose renewable solar power for your home, you can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and fossil fuel-derived electricity.

Solar power is safer

Solar power is much safer than fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are dangerous to extract, transport, and refine; spills happen all the time but solar power doesn't have that problem. You probably think of oil spills when you hear about accidents with fossil fuels, but they can also explode or catch on fire! Solar panels just aren't in danger of something like that ever happening.

Solar power is cheaper

When it comes to the cost of running your home, solar power is cheaper than fossil fuel. Solar panels are a one-time purchase, and you don't have to buy any more. Most solar panels last for 25 to 40 years, so after a quarter-century of free electricity, only then do you have to buy new ones.

With fossil fuels like oil or natural gas, you continue paying year after year as the price increases over time. This can be predicted based on how much of the resource is left and how much effort it takes for companies to extract it from the ground. Even more, money has to be spent on building pipelines and other infrastructure in order to transport these resources across long distances before they can even get into your home.

Solar power is more efficient

In terms of efficiency, solar energy is more efficient than fossil fuels. This means that solar panels convert more sunlight into usable electricity and heat than fossil fuels do. Solar panels are able to achieve this through the use of photovoltaic cells, which are a vital component in the process of turning sunlight into energy. Fossil fuels on the other hand rely on chemical reactions between different materials to produce energy, which makes them less efficient.

Solar power is the way to go…

The sun is free! Tapping into this unlimited resource means you can keep your lights on even when other people are sitting in the dark because of rolling blackouts caused by high demand or shortages from foreign oil suppliers. Your home will be self-sustaining, all thanks to Mother Nature herself!
