The question of whether solar energy or fossil fuels is the best option for your home depends on various factors such as environmental impact, cost, and availability of solar systems for residential customers.
There is no denying that, in recent years, solar energy has gained in popularity as a clean and renewable source of electricity and as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels. In this blog post, we will outline a comparison of these two options to help you decide which is best for your home.
Environmental Impact
One of the biggest advantages of solar energy is that it is clean and does not release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels, on the other hand, are major contributors to air pollution. Burning coal, oil, and gas produces carbon dioxide, which traps heat in the atmosphere and leads to climate change in the form of global warming.
