How much CO2 do your solar panels offset?
Frequently Asked Questions
How is solar CO2 offset calculated?
The US power grid emits an average of about 0.85 pounds of CO2 per kWh of electricity generated (this varies by region; coal-heavy grids are higher, hydro-heavy grids are lower). Every kWh your solar panels produce displaces one kWh from the grid, avoiding that CO2 emission. The average home solar system offsets 6,000-10,000 pounds of CO2 per year.
