Solar Power In Canada

RESEARCH ESSAY

Solar Power as an Efficient Source of Alternative Energy in Canada Most people fundamentally understand that our current energy system is ultimately unsustainable and that renewable energy, including solar energy, will be an inevitable part of our common future. Solar power has become an efficient alternative energy source that results in a cleaner environment, a stronger economy and great freedom in the world, due to energy independence. Solar energy has multitudes of applications, such as powering homes, buildings, and cars that give people different cheaper cost-effective options and solutions. Entire cities could be using solar energy, with no emissions, at reasonable prices, using an absolutely free resource that is

Moreover, I will offer information on the installation cost of a home solar systems and how they work in homes in Ontario. New energy sources and new ways of using energy have had transformative effects on society. The existing technical solutions to the present energy system and the potential for energy efficiency in power production will be further explained. In general, many Canadian cities have a solar potential that is comparable internationally with that of many major cities. There are various impacts associated with the use of solar energy. The social, environmental, and economic impacts of solar energy use are the most important. Sun’s energy

Experts forecast that the worldwide demand for alternative energy will grow 40% over the next two decades. With more than seven billion people living on the planet, the necessity for effective, dependable and reasonably priced energy - distributed with slightest impact on the environment – proves to be a very significant matter. So as we move into an era of energy shortage, we are moving into an age that demands alter as well. Canada is one of the major energy consumers in the world due to its climate and size (long-distance transport is a big factor). Of course, we have an plenty of oil, but only oil will not be sufficient enough. As oil prices increase (as most individuals are certain they will), alternative forms of energy will be required to meet rising needs - renewables like wind, solar and geothermal, for instance. William Smith, senior vice-president (energy sector) at Siemens Canada, certainly trusts that we are getting wiser about preserving our energy resources. "Demand will not likely increase at the same levels as it has in the past because we're getting smarter. But we need to invest $10 today in order to save $10 in the future. We need to take a longer-term view." I certainly agree with William Smith’s stance on this important topic and I truly believe that the only solution
