Busting Solar Myths: #2 Trees Near My Home Prevent Me From Going Solar

Growing and maintaining trees is so important for the environment but you might be surprised how the impact of those trees stacks up against the impact of going solar. Don from SunPower by Legacy Solar explains how removing a few trees near your home actually reduces carbon emissions and puts money back in your pocket.

Trees are undoubtedly valuable components of the ecosystem. Not only do they eliminate carbon but they also provide food and shelter for animals and give shade and beauty to your home.

Considering all of these benefits, does it make sense to cut down trees to enable you to generate solar power on your property? The math speaks for itself. 

A home solar system eliminates the same carbon as NINE ACRES of forested land.

Not only is the impact on your carbon footprint significantly greater with solar but reimagining your green space gives you the opportunity to be intentional in how you replant trees and other landscaping. This allows you to maximize both the aesthetic impact and the environmental impact all while your solar installation is doing the work of 200 mature trees up on the roof.

Grow trees AND use solar…but don’t let concerns about redesigning your landscaping keep you from seeing the impacts of renewable solar energy.
