Advantages of Solar Energy
The foremost advantage of solar energy is that it is renewable and completely clean. It does not pollute our environment or harm the ecosystem of the planet earth.
The solar energy is complete free, which means it will help you to cut the electricity bill efficiently. It can definitely help you to save a good amount of money in the long run.
Solar energy systems are virtually maintenance free. Therefore, it relieves the maintenance tension and cost for the very long time.
In some states, installing solar energy panels helps to get the rebates on tax or electricity.
Disadvantages of Solar Energy
The initial installation cost of the solar energy system is higher due to the cost of the semi-conducting materials used in it. However, the government usually provides the loans, if you choose to install a solar panel at home or office.
The solar energy efficiency completely depends upon the sunlight, which sometimes get hindered due to the clouds. Therefore, it is recommended that while installing the solar energy system, you must install the solar panels in such a way that it gets maximum exposure to sunlight. It will effectively help to improve the solar energy efficiency of the system.
The core of the sun is about 25% of its total diameter, 347,500 km, and it is considered the hottest part of the sun, with a temperature of 15,000,000° C or 27,000,000° F! The core also the area of the sun where solar energy takes place, which is considered to be a nuclear reaction. This nuclear reaction creates nuclei to fuse together to then produce alpha particles and the helium nucleus. This mass is expelled to become energy, and carried to the sun’s surface through the process of convection.
Solar panel is one of the newest ways that we have of producing electricity on a large scale, and it is also one of the most preferred alternatives because it is user friendly for many reasons. One primarily reason is that it is natural and produces less pollution as compared to our common fossil fuel derived sources of electricity. Also it is much cheaper, is renewable, and always readily available. The only cost is the initial purchase and installation, but if you add up the expenses from your monthly electricity bill you will come to realize that you can save much more than you expected; depending on the KWh size of the solar panel system you install it will pay for itself within 4-7 years, and keep producing clean solar energy for you for at least 20.
