Electricity Generated
A solar power system generates electricity for your electrical appliances, like lights and computers. The electricity is measured in kilo Watts hours (kWh).
Carbon Dioxide Saved
Solar power is clean renewable energy. Most of the electricity we use from the grid is generated using coal. This emits carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution into the air. By using more solar power we use less CO2.
Water Saved
Coal Fired electricity uses 2.5 litres of water for a single kWh to cool the turbines that make electricity. By using more solar energy we use less water.
