It is environmentally friendly. Solar energy is clean and renewable. It does not pollute (traditional forms of electrical generation do).
Solar energy systems require very little maintenance. You do not have to worry about recurring costs or adding extra fuel, etc.
When you use solar energy in your home, you will save money in the long run. After all, energy from the sun is free once you have purchased your solar panels or solar lights, etc. There are even some financial incentives from the government that can reduce your cost. And if you do not use as much energy as your solar system uses, you can sell that extra energy to your utility company. When you use solar energy, you are no longer affected by the supply and demand of regular fuel.
Power outages will not affect you if you have a full solar system in your home. When you use solar energy, you lessen your dependence on both centralized and foreign sources of energy.
Many solar systems (especially outdoor solar lights and outdoor solar water features, etc.) are very easy to install and require no wiring.
