In this day and age, we live in a time that uses more electricity than ever before, now with the new trend on electric vehicles. The utility grid as of now is running on 98% full capacity, and it's failing more as years pass. Imagine what stress it would take if the whole country was using charge stations to charge they're electric vehicle! That power would come from the grid! Without the help of more renewable energy, the electric grid is surely to fail us because it simply won't take anymore nationwide loads by itself. Because of this stress on the grid, it is burning more and more amounts of fossil fuels, which causes major pollution across our atmosphere.
According to various online studies and research, scientists and researchers have come to say that we have at least 100 years left before we exhaust all fossil fuels from around the world. When you really think about that, that is not very long at all!
Solar panels is a proven renewable energy source that does not use fossil fuels, because it gathers energy from the sun, and converts it into electricity, which in turn does not cause air pollution, and the sun will shine most everyday! While we have 100 years left for fossil fuels, we have the sun for MILLIONS of more years. The sun is not going away anytime soon, which is a big reason why going solar is a great investment of our future! For grid connected residences and commercial areas, solar panels can relieve some of the stress of the utility grid. If many people had solar panels installed on their service, we can lower the stress of the grid dramatically! Imagine everyone being their own small power station with green energy!
