WHAT IS SOLAR ENERGY?
Solar Energy Is Radiant Light
And Heat From The Sun That
Is Harnessed Using A Range
Of Technologies Such As Solar
Power To Generate Electricity,
Solar Thermal Energy
Including Solar Water
Heating, And Solar
Architecture.
ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY
1. Solar power is pollution-free and causes no greenhouse gases to
be emitted after installation.
2. Renewable clean power that is available every day of the year,
even cloudy days produce some power.
3. Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills.
4. Use batteries to store extra power for use at night.
5. Virtually no maintenance as solar panels last over 30 years.
6. Solar can be used to heat water, power homes and buildings,
even power cars.
7. Can be installed virtually anywhere; in a field to on a building.
8. Federal grants, tax incentives, and rebate programs are available
to help with initial costs.
DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY
1. High initial costs for material and installation and long ROI
(however, with the reduction in the cost of solar over the last 10
years, solar is becoming more cost feasible every day).
2. Needs lots of space as efficiency is not 100% yet.
3. No solar power at night so there is a need for a large battery bank.
4. Devices that run on DC power directly are more expensive.
5. Cloudy days do not produce as much energy.
6. Solar panels are not being massed produced due to a lack of
material and technology to lower the cost enough to be more
affordable.
7. Solar-powered cars do not have the same speeds and power as
typical gas-powered cars.
8. Lower solar production in the winter months.
Overview
There Is More Solar Power That Hits The Earth Every Day Than The Present Population Can
Use In A Year. Let’s Keep Working To Harness This Great Power And Put It To Good Use.
With Efficiencies Evolving, Pricing Being Reduced Every Day, And New Technologies Being
Experimented With, It Will Be Interesting To See Where We Are In The Solar Industry In
The Next Couple Of Years.
THANK YOU
