European Energy

Cost of Solar Energy will Soon Be Lower than Traditional Energy

Paris – Analysts at Boisvert Energy, France’s leading energy producing corporation, claim that the cost of solar power for homes will decrease dramatically over the next five years to the point where it is actually cheaper than conventional electricity.

Founded 30 years ago, Boisvert has always prided itself on its commitment to developing affordable methods for harnessing the power of the sun. If fact, Boisvert was the first company in Europe to experiment with solar energy and to construct a solar energy research facility. Today, that facility in the town of Levis is Europe’s number one source of solar technology and information.

According to the energy giant, many factors have led to this inevitable decline in price. A recent 28% drop in the cost of silicon, a major component used in manufacturing solar panels, has allowed Boisvert to sell more solar panels at lower prices. This, combined with the fact tha gas and oil prices continue to rise, has also attracted business that are interested in installing solar panels.

“Solar panels are profitable for both business and the enviroment,” said Jacques Demers, the corporation’s newly-named vice president. “Solar panels are not only inexpensive to manufacture, they’re also thin, light and easy to transport so we don’t have to pay high shipping rate.”

While many financial experts have warned that Boisvert’s predictions may not be completely accurate, the energy giant is not only determined to increase production of solar panels, but also plans to open a factory in Montreal, Canada, sometime next spring.

Also, Ms. Sachiko Ueno has informed me that over 20 people still have not indicated whether or not they will be attending the company’s annual barbecue on Saturday, June 24. Please keep in mind that the hamgurgers, salads and drinks for the barbeque must be ordered in advance, so Ms. Ueno needs to know how many people to expect.
