Solar energy has much less impact on the environment than buring fossil fuels. 

• Solar Energy's greenhouse gas emissions are minimal as this technology does not burn fuel.
• Going solar is one of the most effective ways to decrease your carbon footprint to help protect the environment.
• While in use, solar panels create absolutely no waste or greehouse gas emissions, justclean, renewable energy.
• Unlike fossil fuel power plants) their fuel source that doesn't need to be discovered, excavated, transportated, or burnt. 
• It's abundance means the potential of solar energy is virtually unlimited. The Earth is receiving 120,000 terawatts of solar radiation (sunlight) at any given moment. This amounts to 20,000 times current world energy requirments.
• Because of its abundnace and renewability, solar energy is also sustainable, providing our current needs withour compromising those of our descendents. There is no way to exhaust solar power.
• The emissions associated with the manufacturing, transportation and installation of solar power systems amount to almost nothing compared to most conventional energy sources. 
• Solar energy is an important component in mitigating human-caused climate change.
• The availability of solar power is also a big advantage and Australia is one of the best places in the world to make use of it.
