Solar power is a renewable energy

Solar power is useful because it provides a renewable source of energy that is created by clean, abundant sunshine.

When you stop and think about it, being able to create as much power as you need with something that is literally all around you, every day, is unbelievable.

Another big benefit of solar power is that it helps you break free from the monopoly of the utility company.

Although monopolies are technically illegal in the United States, somehow the “powers that be” missed the utility company. In Missouri, you’ve got a total of one choice when it comes time to get electricity.

Why is that a bad thing for you? Because when there is no competition required, there is no incentive for the utility to earn your business. This means that they can charge whatever they want to, within reason.

That’s why the rates keep going up year after year.

When you make the decision to go solar, it’s like you’re finally taking charge of your own energy situation.

Instead of relying on someone else to make the power that you and your family use, you’re making it right there at your house. While you’re not going to break free from the utility completely, you at least won’t have to buy all your power from them, or be subject to their constantly increasing rates.

Solar power is useful because it gives you a slice of economic freedom, while at the same time helping the planet.
