Infrastructure —PV systems use existing infrastructure, including the
electrical grid .
Scalability —Solar electric systems can be expanded as needs change and as
additional money becomes available.
Only modest effect on the environment —Solar plants pose far less

fuel power plants.
Energy independence —PV systems reduce the use of declining sources of
fossil fuels and reliance on oil. This reduction occurs while giving
individuals and organizations control over their own energy future by
creating their own energy.
Ready availability, with no fuel ...
