Facts That Support Our Vision

• Solar energy is now a 15 billion dollar a year industry worldwide – and is growing by 35% annually.
• The price of solar energy is dropping – it is the only energy source that has seen its price drop consistently over the last 20 years. And it will continue to drop in the future.
• The United States has recently announced a target of installing 10,000 MW of solar electricity over the next decade.
• Japan has a solar target of 100,000 MW by 2030.
• Germany - the world leader for solar electricity – installed over 600 MW last year.
• In Austria – 1 out of every 7 homeowners now uses solar to heat their hot water. The village of Gleusdorf in southern Austria, with 35,000 people, has a greater installed capacity for solar heating than all of Canada.
• China has a renewable energy law that requires every new building to use solar water heaters. And as a result China is the largest solar market in the world with over 10,000 solar manufacturers.
• Nor is China alone in mandating the use of solar – Israel, Spain, Greece, Holland also have similar federal building codes.
• Globally – solar energy is becoming big business.
• In less than one hour, enough solar energy hits the earth to meet the world’s energy needs for an entire year. By harnessing just a small portion of this abundant energy source, solar power technology significantly reduces the financial and environmental costs of generating and using conventional electricity.
• Installing a 500 kW solar power system prevents the emission of approximately 1,200,000 pounds of carbon dioxide annually. According to the EPA, this amount is equivalent to the annual carbon dioxide emissions of 100 passenger cars or the carbon dioxide sequestered annually by 124 acres of pine forest.
