Global Impact
How does solar help the environment?
As we know, Fossil fuels are a leading cause of global warming and air pollution. Solar energy reduces the amount of fossil fuel that is burned, consequently, reducing the pollutants and CO² that get into the atmosphere. Solar energy systems that are recommended by Cyrus Contractors Inc. have the added benefits of very high efficiency, durability, and service life – they’re custom engineered for sustainability. This signifies fewer replacements and repairs, saving even more energy and valuable resources.
Can solar energy reduce reliance on fossil fuels and foreign oil?
Solar energy is the technology used to harness the sun’s energy and make it useable. As of 2011, the technology produced less than one tenth of one percent of global energy demand, because up-to 85% of all US power comes from burning fossils, much of which comes from unstable-priced foreign oil. Consequently, anytime you minimize your dependency on utility power, you’re helping our country reduce its reliance on energy from energy sources that are environmentally unfriendly and financially unsteady. With the help of solar technology, Cyrus Contractors Inc. provides an alternative energy solution which minimizes dependency on foreign oil.
Other impacts of solar power technology:
JOB DEVELOPMENT: Solar energy is not just a tool to reduce emissions and help ease down climate change — it’s a job creator. According to the most recent National Solar Jobs Census 2018 published by The Solar Foundation, America now has over 242,000 solar workers. These jobs are providing clean, affordable, renewable energy in all 50 states. Base on the most recent research, the solar industry employs twice as many workers as the coal industry.
IMPROVEMENTS IN SCHOOLS: Opportunities of financing energy upgrades for nonprofit institutions using Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE). For example, if we provide the entire necessary energy for a school with the help of solar technology, then we could use the funds saved from that transition to improve our schools in much more substantial ways. For example, many schools do not have fully equipped gyms, pools, or sport fields, however, with the beneficial savings from solar energy all that could be possible.
ECONOMICAL STABILITY: Beside the environmental benefits of solar energy, we will slowly but surely get to see the financial and economical pay-back of this revolutionizing technology. By decreasing our dependency on coal imports, solar energy will continue opening new doors to us towards growth within our own nation. Indeed, we will still need to import some of the parts or pieces that are required to utilize solar technology from the affiliated nations, but today we are producing most of the components here at home, thanks to developing manufactures, here at home.
