A solar energy system creates usable power from sunshine. There are two basic kinds of systems. Photovoltaic or PV uses sunlight to generate electricity. Thermal solar uses sunlight to heat water.
How does solar help the environment?
Fossil fuels are a leading cause of global warming and air pollution. Solar energy reduces the amount of fossil fuel that is burned, thus reducing the pollutants and CO² that get into the atmosphere.
Where can I find out about federal and state incentives?
The US Department of Energy www.dsireusa.org has a database of federal and state incentives for renewable energy.
