Solar energy works on the basic principle of photoelectric effect where
light is converted to electricity. This conversion takes place without any
emissions of toxic gases into the environment. Unlike Fossil Fuels, Solar
energy has a negligible amount of carbon footprint.
Taking into consideration the extraction of raw materials, transport,
processing, manufacturing, the amount of CO2 emissions released per
unit electricity generated is only 48g for Solar Panels compared to 547g and
870g for Natural Gas and Coal respectively.
When your electricity needs are met by Solar power, your carbon
footprint is reduced by 92% and 95% as compared to when your electricity needs
are met by Natural Gas and Coal respectively.
As
Greenhouse gas emissions are less for Solar power, its adoption to combat
climate change is a strategy Solarify is implementing at an individual and
national level. Homes, commercial
complexes, educational institutions, industries, can reduce their
electric-power carbon footprint at a scale and pace that is not only consistent
with, but vastly accelerates India's attainment of its Climate Change goals. Go
Solar. Go Green.
