“Solar, in particular, is accelerating faster than anyone thought possible' Renewable energy now makes up more than 30% of the world's electricity supply, driven by growth in solar and wind, and according to think tank Ember, a new era of falling fossil generation is imminent. #renewablenergy #electricity #solar #wind #energytransition

Solar power, though contributing less than 6% of U.S. electricity in 2023, is crucial in driving the energy transition. Solar output grew 155% from 2018-2023, far outpacing wind and natural gas. This rapid growth has led to increased volatility in the power grid but also spurred innovation and efficiency in managing renewable energy sources. https://lnkd.in/gcBu-uh5

“Renewables generated a record 30% of global electricity in 2023, driven by growth in solar and wind. With record construction of solar and wind in 2023, a new era of falling fossil generation is imminent. 2023 was likely the pivot point, marking peak emissions in the power sector.

Renewable power in the U.S. is soaring, with #solar playing a major part in the clean energy transition. Last year, renewables met nearly 25% of electricity demand and 9% of total energy use. At #GAFEnergy, we're proud to help power this green revolution with #TimberlineSolar Energy Shingles, turning roofs into renewable energy sources.

A recent study called "Grading the Grid" finds that natural gas is the most affordable, reliable and clean energy source to meet growing demand for electricity. Eight energy sources were ranked based on multiple factors, including their capacity and reliability; environmental and human impact; technology and innovation; and cost and market feasibility. The study explains that natural gas is "best suited to integrate with the intermittency inherent in the use of wind and solar." At Upwing, we believe natural gas will continue to be a crucial part of the energy mix along with renewables and that continuous improvement and innovation will lead us to cleaner and more reliable energy to meet growing demand.

The most common question I get when talking with sales teams, owners, and homeowners, “Is when does it make me money?” It’s a fair question. We’ve all been taught that when adding solar to your home Return on Investment is the most important aspect to solar. But is it? When you have to put ugly, potentially damaging traditional solar panel systems on your home through your perfectly good roofing system It has to be top of mind: But what if it is your roof? What about the beautiful look of your home? What about your home’s structural integrity? What about protecting your home? What about investing in your home? What about insulating yourself to increasing energy costs? What about converting yourself and your home to cleaner, more sustainable and renewable energy? What about powering that new EV? Like traditional solar it can absolutely pay for itself over time, but more importantly… Timberline Solar is an all in one Solar roofing solution that protects your wallet, your planet and what matters most. Don’t just “invest” in Solar. Invest in your FUTURE. #GAF #GAFEnergy #EnergyFromEveryRoof
