Environmental Benefits
-
Helps Conserve Natural
Resources (Fossil Fuels)
Fossil fuels are a
non-renewable resource, whose supplies have run low and either become too
costly or environmentally harmful to manufacture. Sunside’s PV system can
help you reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and other depleting resources
that are used to generate electricity.
-
Reduces Pollution
Electricity generation
through consumption of fossil fuels has had an adverse effect on the
environment. It has introduced dangerous levels of Sulphur Dioxide (SOx),
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere which
has impacted ecosystems such as forests and fisheries. Sunside’s PV system
generates electricity by utilizing sunlight to activate electrons within
solar panels. The system does not produce any substances that are harmful
to humans or the environment.
-
Reduces Waste as a
By-Product of Energy Production
The
world’s primary source of electricity is coal. The following means of coal
production result in a large and dangerous amount of waste:
- Mining: Dust from
surface mining, contaminated drainage.
- Cleaning and Drying:
Liquid and solid waste, dust, fines.
- Transportation:
Spillage, dust and fines.
- Storage: Liquid
drainage, dust and fines.
- Power Plant: Liquid
and solid waste (liquid and solid ash) and emissions (SOx, NOx, CO2 and
other particulates).
