Solar is transforming today’s energy industry, leading millions of people to transition from traditional fuel sources like coal. Some people like solar for mostly economic reasons (it saves you money and creates jobs, employing more Americans than coal, gas, and oil combined). Other people go for the environmental pros (solar is clean and renewable energy). It certainly doesn’t hurt that it grants people independence from the traditional grid or that it’s better at surviving intense storms, either!
