If you’re curious about the extent to which your solar project is going to positively impact the environment, we make it easy to visualize within your proposal. We measure environmental impact of converting to solar across three comparison points: Co2 per ton of coal, miles driven by car, and forest acres. This can be found on the Environmental Impact page on Proposal templates. Here’s how it looks:
