What would happen if every house has solar panels?
We said earlier that if every home in California was equipped with solar panels, the state could generate about three quarters of its energy from solar power. But following the same initiative, a state like Wyoming, for example, would only be able to get about 14\% of its energy from solar power.

Solar power is silent and simple to install anywhere. The energy is clean and renewable. With solar power you will contribute to a healthy and sustainable environment. You will reduce your carbon footprint.
Should all homes have solar panels?
The California solar mandate enforces that solar panels are required on all single-family residences and multi-family residences up to three stories high. This means that all apartment buildings, no matter how wide, will require rooftop solar panels, so long as it is less than four stories.
Are solar panels bad for the environment?
Solar energy systems/power plants do not produce air pollution or greenhouse gases. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.
