If you’re like most people, you probably think of solar energy as being “clean.” However, you’d be right—solar power doesn’t produce emissions the way traditional forms of energy generation do. But there’s more to creating a clean solar energy future than just installing panels on your roof. It’s up to all of us to promote solar energy in our communities and make sure it becomes the go-to choice for powering our homes and businesses. Here are a few ways you can help bring about a cleaner solar future:
Consider going solar
There are many ways to show your support for clean solar energy. One way is to solarize your energy bill. Rooftop solar may make the most financial sense for your family. Otherwise you may opt to join a community solar garden to save on the initial expense and rooftop installation. Solarizing your home is a great way to clean up your energy usage and make a difference in the fight against climate change. Every little bit helps, and by going solar, you can be part of the solution.

Encourage local businesses to go solar
Right here in our own community, we are seeing an increase in the use of clean solar energy by local businesses. This is a trend we should all encourage. This is because it helps to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and contributes to a cleaner environment. Solar energy is an abundant and renewable resource. Therefore, it makes sense for businesses to switch to this clean source of power. In addition, solar energy is becoming more affordable as technology advances. Encouraging local businesses to switch to solar power is a win-win for our community. We can help support clean energy production and reduce our environmental impact at the same time. So, let’s spread the word and encourage our local businesses to make the switch to solar power.
Inform your neighbors and friends about their solar options
If you have decided to install solar panels on your home, you can help spread the word about clean solar energy by informing your neighbors and friends about their own solar options. A recent study by Yale University found that people are more likely to go solar if they know someone who has already installed solar panels. So, by letting your friends and neighbors know about the benefits of solar energy, you can help make a positive change in your community.
Support Local Organizations Building an Inclusive Clean Energy Movement
Organizing clean energy supporters is essential to building an inclusive clean energy movement. By uniting clean energy advocates, we can create a powerful force to pressure utilities and policymakers to embrace clean solar power. What’s more, by supporting local clean energy organizations, we can ensure that the benefits of the clean energy transition are shared by all. By working together, we can build a clean energy future that is inclusive, sustainable, and affordable for all.
Vote in favor of clean solar energy
Clean solar energy is one of the best ways to power our homes and businesses. It’s clean, renewable, and efficient. And it’s becoming more affordable all the time. But despite all of these advantages, solar still only provides a tiny fraction of the electricity that we use every day. That’s because solar power has been held back by special interests who don’t want to see it compete with their dirty fossil fuels. But we can change that. We can make clean solar energy the powerhouse it should be by voting in favor of it at the municipal and state levels. When we do that, we’ll be voting for a cleaner, brighter future for ourselves and our children. So, let’s get out there and make our voices heard! Vote for clean solar energy!
