Solar is a clean, renewable source of power

Helio mU and the HelioGroup companies in general have a vision for a better, cleaner and greener world, starting in our own backyards. Powering the world with renewable energy from natural sources the sun and wind is not only a viable solution, but critical to creating a sustainable future. Helio mU and its partners are moving towards this goal one roof at a time by making solar power accessible and affordable. Take a look at these facts and see for yourself how important it is to lessen our dependency on fossil fuel generated energy:

  • The average U.S. household uses 830 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per month.
  • On average, producing 1000 kWh of electricity with solar power reduces emissions by nearly 8 pounds of sulfur dioxide, 5 pounds of nitrogen oxides and more than 1,400 pounds of carbon dioxide.
  • During a projected 25 to 40 years of useful clean energy production, a rooftop solar energy system will conservatively avoid conventional electrical plant emissions of more than half a ton of sulfur dioxide, one-third a ton of nitrogen oxides and 100 tons of carbon dioxide.

(According the government study from the Department of Energy - National Renewable Energy Laboratory)

Here are some other powerful environmental benefits and facts about of solar electricity generation:

  • Solar power generation has the lowest environmental impact of any electricity generating technology. It contributes to the realization of a sustainable society, creating energy to meet future demand.
  • Photovoltaic (PV) systems require no fuel, produce no emissions and generate no waste. They have no moving parts.
  • Sustainable energy systems like solar panels help to stop global warming by reducing carbon emissions.
  • The use of renewable energy reduces our profound reliance on fossil fuels by lowering the amount of energy needed from conventional power generation sources.
  • Solar power generation is more efficient. When fossil fuels are consumed to create electricity, about 35% of the energy results in usable electricity, 65% is lost mostly in heat in the generation process.
  • Taps a practically inexhaustible power source—the Sun
  • Because photovoltaic systems are most frequently mounted on rooftops, they have minimal or no negative impact on land use or the ecology of residential and commercial land management.
