Solar energy generates electricity without burning fossil fuels, thus producing no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. By replacing coal, oil, and natural gas power plants, solar energy reduces carbon dioxide and other harmful emissions. The manufacturing and installation of solar panels have a carbon footprint, but it is significantly lower than fossil fuel power. Over time, the clean energy produced by solar systems offsets their initial environmental impact. This helps mitigate climate change and improves air quality.
