As climate change continues to impact communities across Canada, the need for clean, renewable energy has never been greater. At Green Horizon Energy Ltd, we believe every solar panel installed is a step toward a healthier, more sustainable future.

The Carbon Impact of Traditional Energy

Canada still relies heavily on fossil fuels, especially in provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan where coal and natural gas are major power sources. Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere—driving global warming and air pollution.

The average Canadian household emits about 4-6 tonnes of CO₂ per year just from electricity use.

Solar Power = Clean, Renewable, Local

• Zero emissions: Solar panels generate electricity without burning anything—no smoke, no fumes, no greenhouse gases.
• Local generation: Energy produced on your roof doesn't require transmission from distant power plants, reducing losses and infrastructure strain.
• Sustainable materials: Solar technology is advancing quickly, with manufacturers focusing on recyclable, eco-friendly panel designs.

How Much CO₂ Can You Offset with Solar?

A typical 6 kW residential solar system in Canada can offset 6 to 10 tonnes of CO₂ annually—equivalent to:

• Planting over 250 trees every year
• Avoiding the emissions of 2 gasoline-powered vehicles
• Offsetting the electricity use of a small business office

Over 25 years, your system could prevent 150-250 tonnes of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere.

Supporting Canada's Clean Energy Transition

Canada has pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050—and solar energy is a key part of that plan. By generating your own clean energy, you:

• Support Canada's renewable energy targets
• Help reduce dependence on fossil fuels
• Encourage cleaner energy policies and local investment

What We're Doing at Green Horizon Energy Ltd

Our mission goes beyond installation. We're committed to:

• Sourcing high-efficiency, low-waste solar technology
• Minimizing our environmental footprint during installations
• Helping Canadian families make greener choices without compromising reliability or savings

We also partner with local organizations and participate in environmental awareness campaigns to promote clean energy.

Make a Personal Impact with Solar

Climate action doesn't have to mean sacrifice. With solar, you can reduce emissions, save money, and add value to your home—all at once.

If you've been thinking about going solar, now is the time. The planet needs action, and it starts with individual choices—like how we power our homes.
