EnvironmentalImpact of Solar:
According to Project Drawdown, “Whether grid-connected or part of stand-alone systems, rooftop solar panels and other distributed solar photovoltaic systems offer hyper-local, clean electricity generation…We assume that distributed solar photovoltaics can grow from 180 terawatt-hours of electricity generation to 6,010.21–9,786.80 terawatt-hours by 2050 […] That growth can avoid 26.65–64.86 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions.”
