It’s natural to worry about our future with the global warming in rise. At our current rates, our primary sources—oil, coal, and other fossil fuels—will completely run out by the end of this century. Then what?
And the need of the hour is to reduce carbon footprints and switch to natural, affordable and renewable energy sources which are in abundance. For this reason, we have seen a huge surge across the globe to tap solar energy in many forms. As long as the sun is shining—and it will for a few billion more years, we will have solar energy. The amount of solar energy hitting the Earth at any time is massive: the sun hits Earth with nearly 500 exajoules (EJ) of power every hour, which is more energy than the world uses in an entire year. All we have to do is capture it.
Major economies like the USA, China and Japan are leading the solar panels installation currently, with India and most of the European countries coming to the front.
So, let’s Switch to Intelizon and Go Green.
Craving for Clean & Green Energy? Intelizon is the solution.
Solar energy systems provide green, renewable power by exploiting sunlight. Photovoltaic (PV) panels are used as an alternative energy source. Consequently, the more we use PV panels (or other renewable energy technologies) to cover our energy needs, the more we help reduce our impact on the environment by reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
Let’s discuss how Solar energy helps us in restoring our Environment.
- Less Water Consumption: Traditional electricity production can use thousands of litres of water each year. Water is used for cooling generators, processing and refining fuel and transporting fuel through pipes. Generating power through solar panels, however, uses no water whatsoever. The operation of solar photovoltaic cells doesn’t require water at all to generate electricity, reducing the strain on this precious resource. The only water needed is rainwater to naturally clean the panels, is it too much?
- Controls Air Pollution: Electricity generation from fossil fuels can generate harmful carbon dioxide and methane gases that lower the quality of the air we breathe. Using the sun to generate more and more of our power means less and less harmful emissions from burning fossil fuels. Generating electricity from solar panels produce no harmful emissions, and the more homes and businesses that rely on solar power means fewer toxic emissions from fossil fuels into our air.
- Reduces Carbon Footprint: Unlike traditional electricity generators, solar power does not release any harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) or other pollutants. A solar energy system will offset the equivalent CO2 emissions from over 150,000 pounds of coal burned, or the greenhouse gas emissions from 45 tons of landfill waste! Installing Intelizon products resulted in reducing 18000 tons CO2 which is as good as growing 2.8 million trees. Isn’t it remarkable?
- Conserving Finite Resources: As we all know, fossil fuels are non-renewable and will be gone, or the cost of finding and extracting them will be way too expensive for our strained population. If we don’t change, the resulting damage to our environment and strain to our financial infrastructure may simply be unrepairable. Going solar is the best way to hedge against the reality of dwindling resources.
Going solar is like saving the planet and keeping the change. In fact, it’s pretty much the only home improvement investment that will have an immediate and measurable impact on the environment while putting money back into your pocket from the moment it’s activated.
There has been a conscious effort to go green in every effort or project. What more could be a better solution than energy-efficient products like solar street lighting system using a combination of lithium-ion battery combined with solar, LED and advanced electronics technology. Though the initial setup cost could be higher, but such solutions will create a greener brand image while reducing the humungous Global Warming issue.
Recently we have been recognized as the Best Indian Social Enterprise by Action for India (AFI). The award is an indication of the sustainability of our venture for over a decade. Our products have brought over 2.7 million lives out of darkness, reduced CO2 emissions by 18000 tons (same as growing 284000 trees for 10years) and saved 25 GWh of electricity. Our target is to increase our impact by 5X by 2025, so come & join the revolution with Intelizon to complete its vision “Reliable, affordable & clean energy for all”.
