Solar Power - Overview
Why Go Solar?
Solar power is one of the most promising sources of energy for the 21st Century. It's a technology
that has truly come of age. After more than 50 years of refinement and use in space as well as large-scale
"solar farms" right here on Earth, solar power is ready for mainstream use like never before.
Going solar is something you should seriously consider for your residence or commercial facility.
It's good for your monthly electric bills, and it's good for the planet.
Characteristics of solar power
- CLEAN
Solar power systems generate electricity with zero emission of CO2, SOx, Nox or other gases associated with global warming and acid rain.
- RENEWABLE
Solar power systems can convert nature's sunlight into an unlimited supply of energy.
- ABUNDANT
The amount of sunlight striking earth in any given hour contains light energy equivalent to the total world energy consumption for one year
An indispensable source of energy
At Mitsubishi Electric we are dedicated to promoting solar power systems as an indispensable
source of clean energy for the future. Photovoltaic (PV) modules, which comprise the core of
the technology, drew much attention in Kyoto, Japan in December 1997, at the Third Session of
the Conference of the Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP3),
generally referred to as "The Kyoto Protocols."
At the conference, developed nations agreed to take measures to reduce the production of
greenhouse gases such as CO2. One of the most promising approaches is the adoption of solar
power systems, which generate electricity with zero emission of CO2. At Mitsubishi Electric,
we approach this commitment with the utmost sincerity.
