WHY Renewable Energy with Photovoltaic Technology?

Producing electricity with photovoltaic (PV) modules emits no pollu tion, produces no greenhouse gases, and uses no finite fossil- fuel resources (Petrol based). The environmental benefits of PV are great.  But just as we say that it takes money to make money, it  also takes energy to save energy. The term “energy payback” captures this idea.  

Thin-film PV modules use very little semicon ductor material during manufacturing. The major energy costs   for manufacturing are the substrate on which the thin films are placed, the film-deposition process, and facility operation cost.   

Energy payback estimates for rooftop PV systems can be provided for your specific application with paybacks in the 7 to 10 year range possible.
