benefits of solar energy

	-Solar energy emits no greenhouse gases when operating and thus helps to reduce the negative impact that these gases have on our atmosphere and climate.
	Operation and maintenance costs for solar energy are very low, and mainly consist of replacing batteries.
	In the long run, you have the potential to save money on electrical bills as your savings deflect the initial startup costs. Not including property value appreciation, many systems can completely pay back their initial costs in as a little as ten years.
