Do The Solar Energy Advantages Really Outweigh The Costs?

The major advantages of using solar energy include the reduction of pollutants or toxic by-products and the potential long-term cost savings that may be realized by replacing traditional energy needs with green energy.
Beyond the obvious, there are some additional benefits as well. Most people interested in utilizing green sources of energy become more educated about their own personal energy needs; the effects of traditional energy on the environment and the many available government programs that offer rebates and tax benefits to offset the initial start-up costs.
It is no secret that traditional fossil fuel based energy causes incredible damage to the environment, not only because of the pollutants created during the production process, but also those produced during the transportation phase. Secondary health issues are also tied into the pollutants that result from fossil fuel 'harvesting'. In comparison, solar energy creates no toxic waste and is not priced according to supply and demand.
Most governments around the world recognize the need for the implementation of a greener source of energy and therefore there are many tax benefits, rebates and incentive programs available for individuals as well as large corporations. This ultimately offsets a portion of the cost of installing solar panels in your home.
Some countries include covering the cost of an energy survey as the first step for homeowners looking for alternate sources of energy. The knowledge gained from doing an energy survey alone is irreplaceable. Most people looking for alternate sources of energy became very educated about the overall power requirements for their homes and as a result make significant lifestyle changes based on the power requirements for even the simplest functions. For example, changing to low energy light bulbs alone can save significantly on the amount of power required.
Additional benefits include having a readily available, nearly silent, long-lasting and virtually maintenance free source of power. Solar panels have no moving parts and are therefore resistant to wear and tear. Smart positioning of solar panels in most places in the world allow users to produce energy all year. Lastly, as your solar panel network grows, your overall costs will significantly reduce.
At the end of the day one of the most important things to remember is that solar energy is ultimately a clean, readily available and renewable source of energy that can be implemented in stages, reducing the initial outlay of capital. This allows most homeowners the opportunity to make a difference in small incremental stages not only in their lives but ultimately to the world around us.
