"Going green" is one of the catch phrases we are all listening daily. There are several alternatives - wind power, hydro electric power and solar power being just a few. The use of solar energy benefits not only the people who live in the developed world, but has also created significant changes in the lives of people in the third world and particularly those living in remote regions and the poorest of the poor. We explore a few of the positive aspects of solar energy for two extremes of the world.

Potentially the most popular usage in the first world is for home owners to establish solar panels on their home to produce electricity or merely to create an alternative supply of hot water.

The most obvious benefit is the ultimate cost saving. When the system has been installed the monthly saving in power bills will soon cover the costs and you will have nearly free supply of electrical power for years to come.

A more selfless benefit is the decrease in your carbon footprint as your usage of natural resources will reduce considerably and it is no secret that this is clearly to the advantage of the environment on the whole.

Financially speaking another advantage is that it will also improve the value of your house as a lot of house buyers are keen on the financial and other benefits of solar energy as many state governments offer tax savings or credits to home owners who have solar energy systems installed in their residences.

The benefits of solar power applications for developing areas are rather different and are largely of a more personal nature as it helps access to basic needs of people in these worlds.

The set up and servicing of home solar units creates direct employment for local people. In most developing countries around ninety percent of earnings from exports are utilized to pay for power generation by means of oil, mostly imported. These countries are able to employ savings generated by no longer having to build huge power generating plants to put into the improvement of education, medical and the growth of their economies and industry.

Solar energy benefits are many. Solar power provides electric light which owing to its far superior light intensity facilitates students to study at night and gives opportunities for education classes to be provided for adults and children alike.

The supply of regular and reliable electricity provides use of radio and television broadcasts in addition to data communication and telephone to people who were earlier completely cut off from international news. Without needing to leave the safety of their own homes many people are now exposed to the modern world and develop their understanding of world affairs.

It is obvious that solar energy benefits all the people of the world. Whilst the level and types of advantages may not be alike for those in the first and third world we must all give serious attention to our own contribution to decreasing the impact our daily lives bring to earth and the legacy we leave for next generations.
