The Sustainability of Solar Energy


Demetrios Panteleakis has served as principal of Icarian Real Estate Advisors since 2009 and president of Macmillan Group since 2016. Beyond his work in real estate, Demetrios Panteleakis stays abreast of developments and news related to solar sustainability.

Solar energy is one of the more sustainable forms of energy available today, particularly when compared to fossil fuels. Solar power, of course, draws energy from the sun, the earth’s single most sustainable resource. Leading energy and sustainability experts agree that the sun represents the planet’s most vital source of energy, particularly in light of the United Nations’ definition of sustainability, which calls for energy that meets the needs of the present day without impairing the success of future generations.

Indeed, solar energy checks off every major box in regard to sustainability. It is highly renewable, with one Scientific American study finding that 40 minutes of daylight represents enough energy to meet the entire planet’s electrical needs for a full year. Furthermore, solar energy is most often collected through solar panels, which create no waste products or noise pollution.

As solar panels become more economically sustainable, households and businesses are encouraged to take advantage of the long-term savings and environmental benefits provided by solar energy.
