What are the environmental benefits of solar energy?

Adopting more solar energy has 3 main environmental benefits:

Zero Carbon Emissions. Solar power emits zero greenhouse gases or carbon emissions.

No Water Requirements. Unlike fossil fuels and nuclear power which consume substantial amounts of water in cooling towers, solar power does not require water.

Renewable Fuel Source. Solar is a renewable resource, meaning it replenishes itself. A solar system is powered by the sun which consistently emits clean energy every day.

By contrast, fossil fuels require the burning of finite natural resources which will eventually run out.
