Solar panels reduce emissions by generating electricity from sunlight, eliminating the need for fossil fuels like coal, oil, or natural gas. This clean energy production significantly cuts greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide and methane, which are major contributors to climate change.
Unlike conventional power plants, solar panels do not emit pollutants like sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides, improving air quality. Over their lifespan, solar panels offset the emissions produced during their manufacturing and installation. By adopting solar energy, individuals and businesses can lower their carbon footprint and contribute to a more sustainable energy system.
