Greenhouse gas reduction
Our goal is to help the US reduce greenhouse gases by 4 million tons.
That's about 20,566 solar energy systems installed.
So far we have helped reduce 4,048,712 tons of greenhouse gases: 101% of our goal.
To date, more than 20,816 people have found Solar Professional installers/contractors through us. We assume each consumer inquiry results in a solar (PV) system installation with an average energy production of 11,340 kWh per year. This is the average energy use per household in the USA. To supply that amount of electricity, power plants would emit 7.79 metric tons of CO2 per year, or 194.5 tons over the 25-year estimated life of a PV system.
