The emission of carbon and other greenhouse gas (GHG) is increasing rapidly, which is a major risk to climate change. Solar photovoltaic energy is a renewable and cost-free resource that benefits not only us but also decreases United States GHG emissions. Any market or policy that brings climate change includes the notable development of solar photovoltaic to provide a clean, cheap, and economic future. Few Facts

• Electric Power generation sector of the United States produces 28% of greenhouse gases emission making it one of the biggest contributors to Carbon Emissions.
• Concentrating solar power (CSP) and photovoltaic technologies generate clean, pure, and carbon emission-free electricity that can eliminate GHG emissions.
• 80% of energy is delivered by solar heating and cooling systems that are used for space heating and water heating requirements.

Sources of GHG Emissions in the United States by Sector

Overview

Scientists have proved that climate change occurs because of excess emission of chlorofluorocarbons or GHG in the atmosphere. GHG emission comes from unique sources like the leading source is electricity and transportation which is (28%) closely followed by Industry (22%), commercial and domestic utilization (11%), and agriculture (9%). Till now, no single technology has been introduced that can drop US GHG emissions to zero. Solar technology is the best way to reduce these emissions and help to achieve climate goals. Solar photovoltaic energy not only benefits the climate but also contributes toward durability and reliability of the electric grid, making America immune to face natural disasters and storms that cause climate change.

Electric Sector

In the United States of America, more than a third of GHG emissions is caused by electric power generation by burning fossil fuels for residential and commercial consumers. Concentrating solar power and photovoltaic technology provides clean and green carbon-free energy and feeds it first hand into the United States Grid. Moreover, solar heating and cooling (SHC) technologies can be installed to replace the conventional use of electricity for these purposes. Through the second quarter of 2020, the U.S. has more than 97.2 gigawatts of collective installed solar electric capacity which can power more than 17.7 million homes and can decrease 110 million metric tons of carbon emissions.

Transportation Sector

In the transportation sector, electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are recommended as the primary solution to reduce carbon emissions in the transportation sector especially when these automobiles are charged by Solar Photovoltaic charged charging station or carport. Electric Vehicles are a salient feature of distributed solar power, helping American consumers to reduce their contribution of carbon through rooftop residential Solar photovoltaic, residential battery storage, and electric automobiles.

Industrial Sector

The United States has the largest industrial sector in the world second only to China. Therefore, a large portion of our GHG emission comes from the industrial sector. The steel and aluminum industry leads the carbon emission as it requires intensive energy for the manufacturing process. Boiler Fuel is one of the leading energy exhausting processes in the industrial sector as it uses power to create steam or heated water which is directed towards boiler vessels. Solar Photovoltaic energy can reduce the quench for fossil fuels by producing high temperature and medium temperature heat using CSP and SHC technologies.

Commercial and Residential Sectors

The residential sector consists of residential homes and apartments while the commercial sector consists of schools, offices, malls, restaurants, hospitals, and warehouses, etc. This sector jointly spends most of the energy production on space heating cooling and water heating and cooling. SHC technology as the SHC systems can give almost 80% of the energy used for space heating and water heating purposes. Moreover, solar air conditioning can be used as a beneficial source to accomplish cooling needs instead of using electricity. Many leading businesses around the world use Solar Photovoltaic as their preferred source of energy in their headquarters, warehouses with large rooftop systems, and off-site solar photovoltaic Plants.

Life-Cycle Assessment

Fossil fuel energy produces toxic and higher life-cycle GHG emissions in comparison renewable industries may produce little carbon emission during production and recycling. Once made and installed the negative impact on the environment is literally Zero.

Domestic Policy

There are a number of policy preferences domestically which include Green Energy Policy, Tax policy, infrastructure and workforce development that many green energy enthusiasts and promoting organizations advocate to ensure inexpensive development and production of renewable commodities in the United States.
