Solar power has been an overlooked source of energy. It is one of the most efficient sources of energy available today. Countries like Jamaica should look into making solar power their main source of energy. Jamaica obviously has an abundance of what solar panels need to function: Sunshine.
Many have mentioned the high costs of installation as the main reason why so many Jamaicans have yet to embrace the use of solar panels. While one cannot ignore the harsh realities most Jamaicans face financially, let us not forget that solar energy saves people a considerable amount of money in the long run.
So how does one get more people to use solar energy? One should approach the situation in a gradual manner. In the field of real estate, the competent authorities should make solar panels a mandatory requirement. In other words, as of an established date, no building permit would be issued to any construction project that does not incorporate solar power as a source of energy. This would help to further sensitize people with regards to its importance and move towards a more energy-efficient society. Not to mention the drastic reduction in overall pollution.
Here are some of the benefits of implementing a new solar energy policy:
