Solar power could be seen as humanity’s attempt to mimic photosynthesis, and that’s probably not far from the truth. Solar power is when energy from the sun is captured and converted into electricity, which then powers homes and businesses. As a renewable energy source, solar power frequently takes centre stage in discussions about sustainability and climate crisis solutions.
There are so many benefits to using solar power to power your home or business. When it comes to the installation of rooftop solar power at residential properties, the upfront cost is becoming increasingly affordable. This is because solar power is being increasingly adopted, not only in NZ, but all around the world, too. Solar power is also beneficial because it powers everything in your home or business, including energy-suckers such as spas, hot water, and electric vehicles. Additionally, of course, solar power is sustainable because it reduces carbon emissions. Other benefits of solar power are that although it performs best when the sun is out, it still has a high output when the weather is cloudier; and solar power panels require minimal maintenance, lasting 25 to 30 years on average.
Solar power has many benefits for businesses, too. It reduces a business’s reliance on grid supply; it improves a business’s environmental footprint, thus improving sustainability credentials; and is a great tax-deductible investment that has a return on investment.
