| Solar energy does not contribute to global warming, nor does it generate carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide. During its 20 years + of useful life, a single 100W solar panel will eliminate over 2 tons of C02, as compared to a conventional power plant. Power's derived from solar panels is clean, silent and free energy, if used in large numbers, can make a significant impact in the effort to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Solar photovoltaic systems are currently growing at rate of about 50% per year. The countries now leading this trend are Germany, Japan and the United States, which represent about 85% of the worldwide installed total. |

| With increasing pressure on world oil reserves and American dependency on foreign oil, alternative energies are a necessary part of the planning for the future. As oil prices increase, which is inevitable, your power costs will rise too. With photovoltaic solar panels on your rooftop, you can reduce the effect of these increases; and with grid-tied systems, the excess power sold back to the grid will be at the current market rate. Your system will save you money now, and the power it generates will even keep pace with inflation. |

| Solar energy is green energy in 2 ways: |
|
Green for the positive impact on the environment
Green for the money it saves you. |
