What are the advantages of solar energy?
In France, more than 10,000 homes with electricity photovoltaic.
Still underdeveloped, solar energy is however an excellent alternative energy profitable and sustainable.
Produced by the radiation of the sun, solar energy is part of renewable energy and does not emit CO2.
As such, the solar energy fits perfectly into the current problem of global warming and the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But then, what are the advantages of solar energy?
Focus on ecological and financial interests:
• Environmental Benefits
Solar energy is produced by the radiation of the sun and is therefore inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels such as coal, oil or gas. Every day, the sun emits 35 times more energy than the world consumes in one year. Also, it would be sufficient to cover 5% of photovoltaic panels in the desert area to cover all energy needs of the planet. The energy produced by a photovoltaic panel is clean, recycling material is even possible.
• Financial Benefits
If the installation cost is relatively high, this investment pays off quickly thanks to the energy savings achieved. Moreover, it is quite possible to sell excess electricity not consumed, and hence receive a supplementary income. Buyer, regional or departmental grants can be paid and you can get a tax credit. According to the heat pump purchased, you may receive a tax credit equal to 36% of the purchase cost. Depending on your family situation, the tax credit is capped at € 8,000 for a single person, € 16 000 for a couple. Expect additional € 400 per dependent child.

Passing below 80 kWh per year per m² for heating, cooling, ventilation, auxiliary, the hot water and lighting towers to provide 138 homes thermal comfort worthy of the constructions latest. Besides, this winter, heating bills should be reduced by about 80%.
