This presentation was designed to provide Million Solar Roof partners, and others a background on PV and inverter technology. Many of these slides were produced at the Florida Solar Energy Center and PVUSA as part of training programs for contractors.
Some Benefits of
Solar Electricity
XEnergy independence
XEnvironmentally friendly
X“Fuel” is already delivered free
everywhere
XMinimal maintenance
XMaximum reliability
XReduce vulnerability to power loss
XSystems are easily expanded
Solar energy has more even distribution across the United States than other forms of renewables such as wind or hydro. Where wind and hydro are available, they are good sources of energy, but only select places get good wind, and hydro can have many impacts, whereas solar energy is spread out across the entire U.S. and has very little environmental impacts.
