SolarPower Europe’s Sustainability Task Force has launched Solar Facts, a set of documents based on scientific, peer-reviewed sources that highlight how solar energy contributes to social, economic and environmental sustainability.
The factsheets cover five key topics related to solar, including: cost and efficiency, sustainability, employment and job creation, materials usage and recycling.
Key findings from the factsheets are available in the form of social media cards which can be shared on social networks.

#Solar is a leading sustainable solution to drive the energy transition, providing answers to some of the world’s most pressing challenges @SolarPowerEU #solarfacts
#Solar meets the sustainability challenge: throughout its full life cycle, solar generates just 20 gCO2e per kWh – one of the energy technologies with the smallest carbon footprint – and is continuing to decrease @SolarPowerEU #solarfacts
#Solar multiplies its environmental benefits over time. Throughout its lifetime, a panel will generate 30 times the electricity needed to manufacture it! @SolarPowerEU #solarfacts
