More and more homeowners throughout the US and the rest of the world are choosing to “go solar” than ever before. Solar is one of the cleanest renewable energy sources available. Many people overlook the fact that our sun is essentially a naturally occurring nuclear reactor, releasing tiny energy packets referred to as “photons” that travel 93 million miles from the sun to the earth in a shocking eight-and-a-half minutes.
Enough of these photons hit the planet each hour to theoretically power the globe for a solid year, which explains why so many people are choosing to go solar. EDGE Energy is a proud dealer of SunPower solar projects, and we’ll help you move further in the direction of energy independence than ever before.
Save Money, Help the Environment
Switching to solar energy is one of the best ways to save a sizeable amount of money on your electric bill each month. In many cases, true energy independence is possible, and because the energy generated by solar panels is the cleanest available, you can help to offset Co2 emissions by as much as 890,000 metric tons each year. SunPower is also working to create thousands of jobs in the solar space throughout the country, giving back to the economy and helping businesses move towards greener practices.
SunPower panels are capable of producing 60% more energy per square foot than traditional panels. With a lifespan of over 40 years, they’re capable of producing 70% of today’s energy well into the next century!
