As long as most of us have been alive, we’ve been utilizing fossil fuels to power our lives. It’s always been accepted as the norm. Gas prices go up and they go down. Energy rates fluctuate from time to time. But rarely does anyone challenge this method of thought. Why are we stuck using energy that we’ve always used? If solar power is more affordable.
Solar energy is more affordable than ever, particularly for Floridians. As a location that gets more sun than many others across the nation, homeowners can cash in on inexpensive solar options. If you live in an apartment, you can take advantage of lesser-priced portable units. Those who own their own homes can install a solar energy system for a price that will pay for itself in just a handful of years.
As a consumer, you have the power to promote this change to renewable energy. Talk to your local grocery store or bank about putting solar panels on their roofs. Discuss it with neighbors to see if a group of you are interested; many times a discount is available for larger investments. If you want to reduce your carbon footprint and at the same time lower your own energy costs, the time is ripe to make the switch.
