Solar energy, or power from the sun, is a free and limitless source of energy.
This endless, clean energy resource represents a feasible alternative to the fossil fuels that currently pollute our air and water, threaten our public health, and also contribute to global warming.
Failing to take advantage of such a widely available and low-impact resource would be a costly mistake to our children and all future generations.
In the broadest sense, solar energy supports pretty much all life on Earth and is the building block for almost every form of energy we use.
Typically solar energy refers to ways the sun's energy can be used to directly generate heat, lighting, and electricity.
Luckily solar lighting is not just lighting of the future, but lighting for today.

You are saying, "I care about the environment and want to do something to make a difference.
