Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Greater than 95% of energy used in the US is sourced from dirty fossil fuels such as coal,oil, and natural gas. When fossil fuels are burned to generate energy, they emit toxic gases into the air that cause polution and global climate change. Solar, on the other hand, is infinite, clean, and renewable.

A typical 25 kw solar PV system will have significant environmental benefits over its lifetime by offering the equivalent of: planting over 3,000 trees, removing 900 tons of CO2 from the atmosphere, and not driving approximately 1.2 million miles in a car.
