Clean Energy Options

Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, uses sources that are continually replenished by nature. Solar electricity or photovoltaic (PV) technology converts sunlight into electricity for your home. When combined with battery storage and electric vehicles, solar electric systems can go a long way to enhance your home’s energy independence and resilience, lower utility bills, and reduce your carbon footprint.
	Solar Electric Systems Once you electrify your home, consider adding solar panels. Since you've already reduced your load through energy efficiency improvements, you won't need as many solar panels, thus reducing the cost of your project.
	Battery Storage Adding battery storage will further enhance your home's resilience and save energy costs.
	Electric Vehicle Charging The cost of electricity to power an EV is lower than the mileage-equivalent cost of gasoline. Maintenance costs are lower because there are fewer moving parts and no oil changes. Instead of searching for a gas station with the cheapest price, you can conveniently charge at home or at an ever-growing network of EV charging stations and all-electric vehicles have zero tailpipe emissions.
