| Solar energy is
pollution free and “green”. |
|
|
|
| Solar electric
energy demand has grown consistently
by 20-25% per annum over the past
20 years. This has been against
a backdrop of rapidly declining
costs and prices. Facilities can
operate with little maintenance
or intervention after initial
setup. |
|
|
|
| This decline in
solar prices has been driven by
a) increasing efficiency of solar
cells b) manufacturing technology
improvements, and c) economies
of scale. |
|
|
|
| According to a
recent Solarbuzz survey, 80% of
US residents would like to see
home builders offer the solar
power option for new houses. One-half
of those surveyed would pay up
to 10 percent more for a solar-equipped
house. |
