Why Solar?
Solar energy is an on-site energy production technology available to many building owners. Most solar energy systems have no moving parts and an economic life of 25-30 years. Because the energy is used where it is produced, there are no transmission efficiency losses. In addition, there are generally no utility system upgrade requirements.
Photovoltaic (solar) cells, when combined with intelligent building design and materials plus standard energy efficiency measures, can cut energy consumption from the utility grid by orders of magnitude. In fact, with today's design approach and available technology, true "net-zero" buildings are a real possibility.
