First of all, the passage states that solar energy will reduce reliance on fossil fuels. However, the lecturer has addressed a point saying that the current production of solar panels is taking place with the use of fossil fuels itself. So, does the energy that will be saved after the solar panels are installed is worth the energy required to produce the solar panels is a question raised by the lecturer.
Later, the passage suggests that solar energy is a clean fuel. To this, the lecturer agrees by giving the example of the Solar Water Heater. He says that solar water heaters have proved to be very efficient and reduce the consumption of electricity at the same point.
Moving forward, the passage suggests that only the installation of solar panels requires some initial cost. Later the maintenance cost is almost nothing. To this, the lecturer adds that the consumer of solar energy also can apply for tax benefits. Therefore, solar energy has allowed not only the consumption but the selling of energy also possible. This offers a great advantage to the consumer in terms of financials.
To conclude, the lecturer poses a question to what is really stopping people from shifting to renewable sources like solar energy. He states that solar energy is a clean fuel and proves to be of great benefit when finances are considered as well. But still, people have not switched to this energy source as expected.
