Why Solar?


Being Proactive Keeps the Forecast Sunny.

Legislation limiting carbon dioxide emissions is already in motion. In fact, 25 states have Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) in place and other states are predicted to follow suit. So the more proactive utilities are in meeting these mandates, the better it is for local businesses, for the community and for the environment.

UPC Solar is poised to deliver the lowest cost per kilowatt hour to utilities that are striving to meet aggressive state RPSs and meet increasing peak power demands with renewable energy.

UPC Solar is committed to reducing the amount of carbon put into the air, helping communities create more local jobs and actively soliciting local landowners who share this vision. We’re also exploring the possibility of using land that would otherwise go unused, such as landfills.

Solar Power Benefits

Solar electricity is environmentally-friendly:

  • No carbon emissions
  • No sulfur emissions
  • No nitrogen emissions
  • No particulate emission
  • No major water use
  • No liquid or solid wastes
  • No noise

Benefits can also include:

  • Solar farms generate electricity when it costs the most — during peak pricing periods on the hottest days
  • Solar electricity makes your products and services more appealing to customers
  • Solar electricity prices are decreasing and fossil fuel electricity prices are increasing
  • Solar electricity prices are decreasing and fossil fuel electricity prices are increasing
  • Solar electricity prices are predictable and less volatile (and with a UPC Solar Power Purchase Agreement it’s guaranteed)
  • Solar electricity requires no fuel imports and supports the country’s energy independence
  • Solar electricity fosters a spirit of community involvement and cooperation through a highly visible, yet, “good neighbor” utility project
