Solar power was the fastest-growing form of electricity generation in the United States in 2014. Solar power is a clean, reliable, increasingly affordable source of energy and is experiencing remarkable growth across the U.S. The potential for commercial, municipal and industrial building construction to incorporate renewable energy systems has never been greater.
KMB Design Group is at the forefront of the escalating solar industry, and is considered a leading consulting firm in the renewable energy field providing photovoltaic design and engineering services. Licensed in 49 states, we have the ability to work nationally without limitations.
Benefits of Solar
Photovoltaic (PV) systems generate clean energy with zero global warming pollution, no fuel costs (or risks of fuel price spikes) and has the potential to keep moving the US toward cleaner, reliable, and affordable sources of electricity. Investing in solar energy technology can benefit the environment and your company through reduced electricity bills, protection against rising utility costs, boosting ROI and adding credibility for your business.
Fastest Growing Energy Technology
According to the Solar Energy Industries Association, solar energy is the fastest growing energy technology in the United States today:
• Solar capacity grew in the United States by 146 percent from 2011 to 2014.
• For example, New York State ranked seventh in the country for installed photovoltaic capacity in 2014, up from ninth a year earlier, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association. In fact, the growth of solar power in New York State has increased more than 300 percent from 2011 to 2014, which is twice the rate of U.S. solar growth overall.
• Installed solar photovoltaic system prices in the United States have dropped steadily — by 8 percent from 2013 to 2014 and 49 percent from 2010.
• In addition, according to an online article from Renewable Energy Focus, the solar industry currently employs more Americans than Apple, Google, Facebook, and Twitter combined. In 2014 alone, the solar industry created roughly 31,000 jobs in the United States.
Solar energy is not only making waves by being an affordable, energy efficient resource, but by also creating a better economy for the United States.
