Solar city
What is a Solar City ?
A solar city is an urban community that is committed to the development of sustainable energy to power its development, rather than the continuing reliance on fossil and nuclear fuels. It is a world wide movement that seeks to share knowledge and best practice on tackling some of the major issues of the early 21st century - that of climate change and peak oil.
Benefits of Solar
- Save on Electricity Costs
solar energy will dramatically reduce your electric bill. Any excess power your solar system generates during the day will flow back to the utility grid and your meter literally spins backward! Utility companies will pay or credit you for this electricity,reducing your electric bill even further.(The matter may not be as such optimism, but you certainly will save a lot of money) - Protect Yourself From Rising Prices
Residential electricity prices have risen 38% since 2000. Utility companies are dependent on fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas,which are vulnerable to volatile foreign markets. When you switch to solar power,you can lock in low, predictable electricity costs for years into the future. As utility rates continue to rise, your savings will grow every year. - Protect the Environment
Every solar system has a significant environ-mental impact. An average sized solar system reduces CO2emissions equivalent to the amount absorbed by 60 trees, or released by driving a car over 125,000 miles. - Increase Your Home Value
A recent study from the Appraisal Institute demonstrated that the selling price of homes increased by $20 for every $1 decrease in annual utility bills.
