Solar energy is helping pave the way for a greener future by saving money and reducing dependence on limited natural resources. While nature has provided for human needs, overexploitation of resources has caused irreparable damage. Shifting focus to solar power can help meet energy needs sustainably as it is natural, abundant, and can generate electricity without pollution. Solar energy can also help electrify remote areas and lower electricity bills. Initial costs of solar units are not as high as perceived once discounts and rebates are considered, and the money is earned back in savings over time.

Solar Energy - What an Asset to the World
1. The world is waking up to the spheres where solar energy
is making its presence felt by not only paving way for
saving money but also to a greener future.
2. Nature has always been very benign to us. Through the
generations, it has provided us with everything we
needed. However, it is our selfish means that makes us
exploit nature recklessly. This has brought us to a stage
where the damage has been done beyond repair. Despite
of knowing what this over exploitation can lead to if not
paid attention, we continue to use up exhaustible natural
resources because of our over dependence on them. We
cannot help but use them to meet our needs. However,
the question to be asked is- if we do not stop this
exploitation of our exhaustible natural resources now then
when would we?
3. It is very important to open our eyes and wake up to the
grave issue. One of the things that can be opted for in
order to reduce our dependence on these limited natural
resources is to shift our focus from limited resources to
the ones that we have in abundance and the ones that
would not deplete for at least million years to come. One
of such resources is solar energy. Solar power is one gift to
human race that has blessed us in more ways than one can
fathom. Natural and available in abundance, solar power
can light up our lives for almost free if utilized properly.
4. The method of producing electricity which has been in use
for ages emits a lot of pollution, thus degrading the
environment. With proper utilization of solar energy we
can power our homes without causing any harm to the
environment. Apart from this, solar energy can also help
cut down the ever rising electricity bills to a great extent.
5. Solar power is the most environment friendly method to
light up homes and lives alike. There still remain to be
several remote areas across the world, mainly in
developing nations where electricity has not reached and
people continue to live in darkness after sunset. Proper
utilization of solar energy can help light up these places
with much ease.
6. Some people shy away from opting for the solar energy to
generate electricity because they feel it is too new a
technology to rely upon. Besides, they feel that the initial
costs of the set up of solar units are too high which a
common man cannot afford. Both of these arguments are
not true. While solar energy has been under research for
several years and is now ready to be opted on the mass
level, it can also prove out to be a viable source in terms of
money. The government provides huge discounts on the
purchase of solar energy run equipment. Besides, people
who buy these equipments are also given tax rebates.
Apart from this, a steep cut in the electricity bills would
also help you save a lot of money and in a short span of
time; it would earn you back the money spent on these
equipments.
