The potential of solar to be the primary source of energy is rather high as the energy sent by the sun toward Earth is 35,000 times more than what is produced and consumed at present. With innovation abounding, harnessing this energy has become more viable, creating an environmental-friendly alternative.

Solar energy has helped households and companies cut down on their electricity bill. Since sunlight is free and technological improvement has consistently reduced production costs, the use of solar power is economically efficient.
Currently, the most common sources of electricity are fossil fuels, including coal, natural gas, and oil. But solar energy has been better than these conventional sources because, aside from the financial and environmental advantages, it has a potential for greater production capacity and more job openings.

There are also other environmentally sound energy alternatives, such as hydropower, wind, and biomass. But their geographical, efficiency and maintenance limitations make these forms of renewable energy less potent than solar energy.
One of the companies that has been successful in harnessing solar energy is Horizon Solar Power. Since 1998, the company has provided top-of-the-line solar energy systems in Southern California. With offices in Hemet, Redlands, and Palm Springs, the company services more than 50 cities and has installed more than 500 residential solar energy systems throughout the state.
