A recent report by Environment America reveals that rooftop solar panels have grown a lot in the last 10 years, increasing by 1000%. The report suggests that there is still a lot of room for more growth in the future. 

Moreover, There is a chance to use big, flat buildings for more solar power, especially in commercial and industrial areas. According to Environment America, warehouses alone could generate 185 terawatt-hours of electricity every year. This will be sufficient to power more than 19 million homes in the United States. The report also mentions that over 100,000 large retail buildings across the country could generate enough power for the same needs as 8 million more homes.

Why choose rooftop solar?

According to the report, rooftop solar is good for the environment and people in many ways. It helps by reducing the need for polluting power plants and costly power lines. It also brings down costs and makes the electricity system stronger in the face of extreme weather and other challenges.

Furthermore, Rooftop solar also helps the environment by using less land for energy production, which is sometimes called "energy sprawl." When we install one gigawatt of rooftop solar instead of big energy projects, we save more than 5,200 acres of land.

Concluding, For people who are homeowners, having rooftop solar means saving money on bills for a long time and knowing how much to expect.
