Advantages of solar power installation for homes and businesses

It is clear for all to see that the problem of power availability will continue to linger longer than expected in the country. This is due to the inability of the government to put a quick fix to the numerous issues rocking the power sector despite the millions of dollars sunk in it.

As a consequence of the insufficient  power generation capaticy in the country, businesses has borne more cost resorting to other means to generate power mainly by diesel, gasoline and gas turbines. The sad thing however is that these fuels release carbon dioxide gas as a product of their combustion. Carbon dioxide is a major cause of global warming causing glaciers to melt, shorelines to be washed and endangering of animals.

There are many advantages of solar power panels worth noting. Below are some of the major ones:



1) Renewable energy source: Unlike nonrenewable energy sources, solar power can be generated over and over again through photovoltic (pv) panels.

2) Zero Noise Pollution:  If your generator is as noisy as my neighbour's,  then i can only begin to imagine how many times your head would have swollen and fall concurrently. Unlike generators, solar panel systems generate no noise.

3). Solar power helps you save money from electric bills. Mounting solar pv panels on your roof is likely to save you thousands of nairas annually.

4). Solar power provides power reliability since the rising and setting of the sun is extremely consistent all over the world.

5) Solar power provides energy security. On top of the above reliability benefit, no one can go and buy the sun or turn sunlight into a monopoly. Combined with the simplicity of solar panels, this also provides the notable solar power advantage of energy security, something the US military has pointed out for years, and a major reason why it is also putting a lot of its money into the development and installation of solar power systems.

6) Solar power provides energy independence. Similar to the energy security boost, solar power provides the great benefit of energy independence. Again, the “fuel” for solar panels cannot be bought or monopolized. It is free for all to use. Once you have solar panels on your roof, you have an essentially independent source of electricity that is all yours. This is important for individuals, but also for cities, counties, states, countries, and even companies.
