Clean energy is no longer just the environmentalists' choice. Today, a clean energy strategy is a smart business decision.
- Implementing solar energy reduces financial risk due to rising utility costs.
- Businesses can save money on electrical bills by using solar energy and claim green status for free
- State tax credits and incentives make solar energy even more cost-effective.
Without question, clean energy is becoming the energy of choice for businesses, community leaders and consumers.

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electricity by using cells comprised of semiconductor material. When exposed to sunlight, these materials generate an electrical current that is transformed into energy with no pollution, no harmful gases and no harm whatsoever to the environment.
The solar PV industry continues to grow at more than 28% per year. Solar PV energy is increasingly price competitive with traditional electricity sources due to advances in technology over the past 10 years.
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) takes a different approach to solar energy by utilizing mirrors to focus the thermal (heat) energy of the sun to create steam and drive a turbine, similar to a traditional power plant but without any of the pollution. This is a cost-effective approach for large, utility-scale plants in regions with abundant sunshine, like the desert Southwest. These projects are truly solar power plants and can be hundreds of megawatts in size; the development, project management, engineering and construction aspects of these projects are complex and time-consuming, requiring a partner like SunDurance Energy for success.
