Another benefit is that you will be reducing your carbon footprint.
Carbon footprint of solar panels.
To create a solar panel caustic materials will emit greenhouse gases.
Firstly the extraction of quartz the crystalline form of silicon and of the other materials necessary for the construction of the panels.
Although the use of solar panels is green many solar panel manufacturing processes are not.
The energy saving trust says a typical home solar pv system could save around 1 3 to 1 6 tonnes of carbon per year depending on.
For instance concentrated solar power csp has a footprint of 20 grams of carbon dioxide co2 per.
Residential solar pv systemsare capable of meeting a household s electricity consumption entirely and result in 80 lower carbon emissions than fossil fuels.
