2. The Disadvantages of Solar
Energy Weather and Location
• Most scientists claim that the energy that
the sun gives is likely to solve all our
current energy problems. The sun is an
inexhaustible power source and it is also
free. This makes it perfect for everyday
use in our homes or offices, right? Well,
not always. In spite of the many benefits
that solar energy can deliver, there are a
series of disadvantages that people should
be aware of before they install a solar
system.

3. • Many people want to go off the grid of national companies
supplying traditional energy. High costs of energy bills are
the main reason for which they feel motivated to do this. But
factors such as the costs incurred by the installation panels,
weather and location, space and manner of maintenance
should not be forgotten.
• First of all, let us not forget that solar panels will be placed
out in the open, facing the sky. Therefore, they will have to
withstand an array of weather conditions. Powerful wind,
hail, snow and rain – all these affect the quality of the solar
panels in time.

4. • Most of the potential solar energy consumers should know that the
investment they make in their photovoltaic system will not pay off unless
located in sunny areas. When placed in rainy locations, the components
of most solar panels are likely to corrode. This is particularly true when
it comes to the areas where hail predominates. If the hail stones are
very big, it can even break the photovoltaic panels and you will have to
replace them, which is likely to cost you a lot of money.
• If you live in areas where dust storms are frequent, solar panel
installation is not recommended. The dust will surely reduce the
absorption capacity of the panel’s photovoltaic cells. A single layer of
dust is enough to obstruct the passage of light and this will make the
solar cells ineffective.

5. • Another problematic weather condition would be snow. Heavy
snowfall covering the surface of solar panels will reduce the
output of the system. But this is not seen as a real problem
since snow is likely to slide off once the panels are tilted.
Therefore, the full capacity of the solar cells will be restored in
no time.
• As you may have realized already, weather is a really
important factor that should be taken into account before you
decide to power your home with the help of solar panels. If
you are not sure whether you should install them or not, you
can ask a specialist to assess the influence the climate in your
area will have on your solar panel system.
