Photovoltaic Benefits
Solar power systems, Photovoltaic Systems derive clean, pure energy from the sun. Installing solar panels on buildings help combat greenhouse gas emissions and reduces our collective dependence on fossil fuel. PV reduces transportation of energy through power lines, and Solar panels on a roof reduce clear cuts of forests to install PV on the ground.
Additional Benefits of a Solar Garden Roof
