What are the benefits of shifting to solar?

There are so many benefits on going to renewable energies but solar is probably one of the most reliable ones as the Sun was at the creation of the life on Earth and will certainly be still there for many million years from now.
We can list some of the high level benefits as:

• Provide clean and sustainable electricity to the world.
• Regional development, by creation of local jobs. New employment levels in the sector – as many as 1.62 million jobs as early as 2015, rising to 3.62 million in 2020 and 4.64 million in 2030.
• Clean electricity that contributes to international targets to cut emissions and mitigate climate change.
• Avoiding up to 4,047 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent every year by 2050. The cumulative total of avoided CO2 emissions from 2020 to 2050 would be 65 billion tones.
