Creating Advertisements in Solar Energy
Environmentalists
and many scientists have long warned us of
the negative impacts of using fossil fuel
and how it contributes to the green house
effect. Renewable energy sources are now being
studied and exploited by different countries
around the world because they pose very little
environmental impact and yet they still provide
the energy demanded by the community. Solar
energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses
the sun’s energy for use in heating,
lighting and many others. Today, this renewable
energy source is being promoted via various
solar energy advertisements.
There are many solar energy producers around
the world and they have been aggressively
campaigning their companies through different
solar energy advertisements. The demand for
solar energy has increased dramatically since
the 1980s. From an installation demand of
only 21 megawatts of photovoltaic cells in
1985, it has grown more than 1,700 megawatts
in 2006 and it has grown at an average of
25% per annum. All in all, a total of about
4,000 megawatts of solar energy are being
used worldwide through heating, photovoltaic
and other solar energy producers.
With more and more solar energy advertisements,
this demand could increase even more. Solar
energy advertisements now being promoted and
shown in many countries include solar energy
cooking. This type of solar energy harnesses
the power of the sun to cook, heat and pasteurize
foods. Solar energy advertisements for cooking
products all claim to remove or reduce smoke
generated from fuels like wood and will ultimately
offset the demand for fuels used in cooking.
Other solar energy advertisements target residential
homeowners. Today, more and more homes maximize
solar energy usage by using better thermal
mass materials, photovoltaic windows and roof
shingles, and other HVAC systems. Many manufacturers
are actually using solar energy advertisements
to promote their products, specialties and
services in solar energy homes.
In the US alone, solar energy advertisements
have already increased in proportion to the
demand for solar energy and solar powered
appliances. The country posted a 33% growth
of solar energy demand in 2006. This demand
will only continue to increase as the government
gives more incentives and perks to “green”
homes—homes that use renewable energy
in their energy requirements. In Japan, solar
rooftops are very common. They have actually
replaced the US as the largest net exporter
of photovoltaic cells and modules while China
is the world’s largest exporter of solar
powered water heaters in the world. These
countries have aggressively led solar energy
advertisements on the manufacturing side.
These examples of government-led programs
have worked partly due to solar energy advertisements
and government incentives.
According to the US Department of Energy,
the world’s top five largest producers
of energy are the United States, Russia, China,
Saudi Arabia, and Canada. These countries
also lead the pack when it comes to solar
energy advertisements. This proves that despite
the public’s negative perception about
solar energy like space required and investment
needed, with proper solar energy advertisements
and promotions, the will always be an increasing
demand for alternative power sources
