Natural disasters can leave individuals without electricity for weeks at a time. For instance, no one in Texas expected winter storm Uri in 2021 which left Texans without access to the power grid for weeks. When hurricane Katrina ravaged New Orleans in 2005 as one of the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the U.S., it left over one million homes and businesses without power for weeks.
What do these two storms have in common? They both left millions of people in the dark with no knowledge of when their power might come back on. Don't be caught in the dark! Solar power paired with battery storage can address the problem of long term power outages so you can be prepared even in the worst of times.
Massive solar incentives are sweeping the country as the Inflation Reduction Act impacts the solar world. Federal, state, and regional governments are issuing tax breaks, rebates, and low-interest loan programs to incentivize a nation wide switch to renewable energy. Here's a quick summary of how some of these incentives can positively effect your transition to solar:
A common misconception surrounding the renewable energy sector is that solar kills agriculture. This statement is a large platform for pushback against the green energy movement- but it isn't entirely true. There are several ways that different forms of solar power can work together with agriculture to produce both food and energy for Americans. Take this for instance: say you own a large farming operation and you're looking for ways to offset your energy consumption costs but you aren't sure how to start incorporating solar into your farm. Here's a few ways:
Utility Scale PV Solar Plants are appearing throughout the nation as the push for renewable energy takes its initial actionable steps towards a greener future. Solar farms are producing energy via the use of Photovoltaic energy systems, which capture the suns energy through solar irradiance. Energy production is the crucial factor that decides how profitable a farm is, and by maximizing this production, solar companies greatly increase the profitability of their investment.
