According to a report released by the British government, “climate change could devastate the global economy on a scale of the two world wars and the depression of the 1930’s if left unchecked.”
The report was commissioned by British ministers, and developed by Nicholas Stern, a former World Bank economist, who concluded that “ignoring climate change could lead to an enormous disturbance to the world economy.”
Since South Florida is known for is its year around sun, contributing to making our neighborhoods and homes in South Florida “greener” should be an easy task. The incorporation of a solar power system into your home is a great way to get started.
Solar modules collect the free energy from the sun and an inverter converts the solar electricity into AC current for your home. The system also sends any excess power to your utility company for credit, as your meter will run backwards when your system generates more power then used by the house.
Home Depot provides free in-home consultation where a licensed solar power professional visits your home and provides a complete evaluation based on your specific needs. He will estimate your solar savings, and decide the best size and placement of your solar power system. A project manager will obtain necessary permits, complete necessary paperwork, and once all approvals are completed a full team of licensed and insured professionals will install your customized solar power system. Installation is followed by a six month system check-up.
BP Solar estimates that your FPL bill may be as much as 30% lower in addition to increasing your home value, and contributing to decreasing the levels of pollution in your neighborhood.
