Solar power as a source of domestic household energy is becoming more desirable because many individuals and governments are concerned that burning fossil fuels adds carbon to the atmosphere and thus accelerates global warming and climate change. Others feel that nuclear power is potentially unsafe, and do not like its associated pollution from radioactive waste. Therefore, many researchers and consumers have looked at alternative sources of energy and have found that solar power has many benefits and few drawbacks.
The main advantage of solar energy is that after the initial installation, it is entirely free and renewable, and there are no extra costs involved in producing energy. Solar energy is silent and environmentally friendly as well-it does not destroy or poison the ecosystem. This is because the raw material; sunshine, does not need to be extracted or refined, so there are no pollutants or toxic residue produced.
Another major advantage is that it is produced where it is needed so there is no energy wasted on and maintenance of the new technology for solar panels which are consequently becoming less expensive more available and much more efficient.
The greatest drawback of solar power is that it is totally reliant on sunlight, which is not always constant. In fact, there are some regions where it may not be practicable, as it does not work at night Power from daytime sunshine must be stored in large batteries in addition he panels lend to be big and cumbersome A major drawback for some is that the initial purchase and installation of the equipment is costly
In my view, the benefits of a clean, quiet, renewable, eco-friendly source of energy far outweigh the drawbacks, provided that there is sufficient sunlight Available to make this source of power feasible.
