So, I'm posting what I wrote for them here, so they can't use it. It's what I do... because, Google.
Here it is:
Why You Should Consider Solar
Solar Energy is the future of the world. It’s an affordable and renewable way to meet your home’s electricity requirements using the abundant energy from the sun. In order to capture this free energy, a series of solar panels are installed on your home’s roof. These panels collect energy from sunlight and transform it into the type used in your home. It’s simple, efficient and good for the environment.
Environmental Impacts
Traditionally, fossil fuels have been used to generate power for homes and businesses. Huge plants that burn coal or natural gas are located in cities and towns throughout the country. These plants produce an enormous amount of air pollution. Even getting the fossil fuels in order to burn them is a dangerous and lengthy process that results in pollution, degradation of the environment and more.
Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy is environmentally friendly. The panels are mounted on the roofs of existing homes or on the ground in a sunny location. The panels produce no pollution and won’t contaminate rainwater. They can be used in any environment, even ones where snow is common. There is no drilling or tracking required to produce the energy and there are no impacts on local fauna or flora. The clean and renewable energy source will not contribute to global warming or other environmental concerns. It’s the perfect energy source.
How it Works
Solar panels work by using a system of lenses and mirrors to collect and focus sunlight into a concentrated beam. The beam of light is then converted into electricity using a photovoltaic effect. The electricity generated then powers your home.
Solar panels are made of manmade materials, often including a combination plastic and metal components. The panels have integrated glass lenses and mirrors that are used to collect and focus the energy from the sun.

One of the key components of a solar panel is the inverter. The inverter is a small box that converts the concentrated beam of energy from the sun into the type of electricity that is used in homes. The energy produced then passes through a utility meter which records the amount of energy generated. The utility meter may be the one already installed on your home, but it will run in reverse when the panels are generating electricity. Most home solar panel systems will generate enough power to significantly reduce electricity bills or even generate a credit during the summer or during daylight hours when sunlight is abundant and usage is lower.
When you install solar panels on your home, you’ll still be connected to your electric provider through the energy grid, so you’ll always have power. However, using electricity will be more enjoyable because you’ll be saving money and saving the environment.
