The document discusses solar power plants as an alternative energy source. It notes that fossil fuel combustion causes air pollution and climate change. A solar power plant uses sunlight to generate energy, providing benefits like being renewable, requiring low maintenance, and being suitable for rural areas. However, solar energy is weather dependent and requires a lot of space. Overall, solar power provides a cheaper and more environmentally friendly source of electricity.

2. z
The environmental problems directly related to
energy production and consumption include air
pollution, climate change, water pollution, thermal
pollution, and solid waste disposal.The emission of
air pollutants from fossil fuel combustion is the
major cause of urban air pollution.
CURRENT ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES/PROBLEMS

3. z
Alternative Energy Source must be:
 Environmental friendly
 Affordable
 Able to run and support at least a rural area
 Reliable

Solar Power Plant
(Solar Energy)
A solar power plant uses sunlight to
get energy. As the sunlight is ample
and renewable, one can use it to
power up the home and business
premises. If you install a solar power
plant , you might need to spend
upfront. However, it will minimize
your energy consumption
significantly.

Solar Power Plant
(Solar Energy)
PROS
 Renewable energy source
 Solar panels can work in cold
climates and weather
 cheaper and easier to install
than other power plants
 Low maintenance cost
CONS
 Weather dependent
 Uses a Lot of Space
 Solar energy can only be
gathered during the day
 Small damage can affect the
efficiency of the energy

6. z
Solar energy gives you a host of benefits for using a
more accessible and cost-efficient source of
electricity while saving the environment. It is the
cheapest energy source than other energy sources.
It’s is also suitable in rural areas. It’s easier and more
convenient especially in solar panel installation. A
large cost for a big benefits but it is worth it.
