Why Choose Brightworks Energy?

by Team Brightworks July 3, 2018

We live in a world dependent on finite global resources. Coal, oil, and gas costs are becoming more volatile while continuing to cause irreparable damage to our environment.

In the face of these growing challenges, Brightworks Energy was born from the need to start change on a small (but powerful) scale by working with Ontario businesses and homeowners.

Energy Costs are Rising

From provinces to nations, we continue to see global leaders looking to natural means of energy products for the future.

Solar energy, wind and hydro are on the rise, with new innovations making them cheaper and more accessible every day.

Why you should offset your hydro bill with solar in Ontario

China produces the largest amount of solar power in the entire world. In fact, China produces more solar power than the United States, Italy, & the entire United Kingdom combined.

What are they doing differently than us?

Well, for starters, Solar Power is one of the largest industries in all of mainland China. In 2007, nearly half of the world’s production of Solar Panels happened there, although 99% of the panels were being exported to other countries.

Now, China has quadrupled its production of panels, surpassing the entire global demand.

However, China’s implementation of solar power doesn’t stop there – solar water heating is also used extensively throughout the entire country, & in 2015, 77.42 GW of Solar Energy were produced – meaning there was enough solar power generated to energize 59,554 homes for an entire year.

The Skinny on Energy Efficient Light Bulbs

Many of us love the idea of energy efficient light bulbs. When it comes down to it, however, we often stick with the old incandescent light bulbs, mistakenly believing that they are a cheaper alternative to their energy efficient competitors.

Though we’re creatures of habit, making the switch to energy efficient light bulbs can actually save you substantial cash in the long term, in addition to helping make your home or business more environmentally sustainable.

So, how do energy efficient bulbs stack up, and which type is best?
