Climate Change and Renewable Energy

Carbon emissions, which lead to global warming, are one of the greatest threats facing the planet.

In the US, over 70% of electricity is supplied by burning fossil fuels which releases large volumes of carbon into the atmosphere. In fact, 40% of US carbon emissions come from electricity production.

If you get electricity from the grid, you are contributing to the problem.

The good news is that some innovative solutions, like solar power, will help. Solar systems generate electricity directly from the sun, with no fuel, no noise, and no emissions. At Sungevity, we are committed to spreading solar worldwide, and through our solar platform are making solar more readily available and cost-effective.

If installations of global solar electric systems grow 700 fold by the middle of the century, we will have stopped about 15% of the carbon pollution (that would have otherwise been produced over this time) and averted drastic climate change.

Over the life of the average solar installation, the production of 36 tons of carbon is abated - that’s equivalent to not driving 227,733 miles.

Sungevity's mission is to facilitate the growth of solar, starting with you and your home. Enter your address above and let us design a solar solution for your home, showing you how much carbon you can save. Make a difference now, and call us at 877.257.8648 if you have any questions!
