Because it;
Protects our environment and atmosphere
The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, causes an increase in temperature around the world by blocking light coming from the sun to our world.
This effect is called the "Greenhouse Effect" .
Without this effect, the average temperature on earth would decrease to minus 31 C. But as a result of increased industrialization today and the use of the fossil fuels, this balance has collapsed and the emission of sunlight has been blocked more than normal and causing global heating.
In the mean time, the use of fossil energy and other harmful materials have a bad effect on the atmosphere.
As reasons of this pollution we can mention the following factors;
- % 50 carbon dioxide
- % 19 methane
- % 17 fluoro chloro carbons
- % 8 ozone
- % 6 other factors
The fossil energy sources and carbon dioxide exposed by the waste of this energy can be categorized as below:
- Normal Coal :0,40 kgC02/kWh
- Pit coal :0,33 kgC02/kWh
- Fuel :0,29 kgC02/kWh
- Natural gas :0,19 kgC02/kWh
Preserves the Raw Material sources, provides energy saving and contributes to world peace
In this sense, we should pay attention to the following facts;
World petroleum reserves are decreasing day by day. At the same time the world population is increasing continuously and this population needs more energy than before. In case of not saving current energies and not trying to find alternative energies, future generations will be faced with two unavoidable results; depletion of reserves completely and the clash for sharing existing reserves.
Improves Life Standard and Provides Safety
The difficulties and dangers faced during the supply, transfer and use of fossil fuels can be completely ended by using solar energy. Besides safety it also provides us with a more comfortable life standard.
Offers Economical Energy
In comparison to the high costs of other energy sources, solar energy provides a saving of up to 80 % in water heating, or 30 % of the total heating and hot water costs in a year.
