Caring for our planet is very easy, as recycling takes just a few moments to figure out. Other means of caring for our planet is by finding and using new sources of energy and fuel. Scientists still need some time to find a new type of fuel, however they already found several sources of energy. The sun, water, and wind, are sources of energy already being used in several countries for all sorts of purposes.

USA is no stranger to these renewable sources of energy. New York is one of the states backing up as much as possible these alternative sources of energy. Solar energy is the main focus of various projects and programs that currently run in some 5,000 schools. These projects aim to influence the community in installing solar panels. When installing solar panels as a community, individual consumers pay less than when installing them separately. A fund of $1 billion has been used to help all solar companies in New York expand their business. This is not the end of the story. Starting with 2012 multiple partnerships have been started to allow and encourage Long Island solar power companies to offer discounts and rebates for their products.

For those who don't know, Long Island is home to the largest solar farm on the East coast of US. It's no wonder it also hosts many companies offering solar energy solutions to businesses and individuals alike. They can receive a discount of up to 30% for installing solar panels. In other cases, credits of up to $5,000 per solar panel is offered to those interested, but who also need some financial help.

Currently there are at least 1 million buildings in New York operating their elevators, security, laundry rooms, and not only, using the solar panels on their rooftops. This is one of the advantages of using the sun as an energy source: the panels can be placed on the house' rooftop, thus not occupying any extra space. Most likely the energy of the sun can be used only on a sunny day, however there are solutions to store it for a longer time should it be needed.

Solar energy is very useful when there is a blackout due to some malfunction, extreme weather conditions. Using electricity generated by the sun during a sunny day, consumers noticed how their utility bill was considerably lower. It goes without saying that solar energy is not polluting at all and thus people care about the planet when using this renewable type of energy source. The price for several types of products will drop if consumers show an increased interest towards the alternative types of energy. The good news is that there is still enough space for improvements and innovations when it comes to using renewable energy. For now the state of New York is a leader when it comes to creating and consuming renewable energy.
