Solar energy is very expensive to by because you need solar panels they cost a LOT this energy is useful because the sun is up a lot but, its not always sunny so, it is a disadvantage to the household.We can use it wisely by saving up energy. I would rather move my house from Unicornacopia Land to the desert.The suns rays makes energy on solar energy.PROS
- Solar panels give off no pollution, the only pollution produced as a result of solar panels is the manufacturing of these devices in factories, transportation of the goods, and installation.
- The production of energy from the use of fossil and some renewable fuels (e.g. wind turbines) can be noisy, yet solar energy produces electricity very quietly.
- One of the great pros of solar energy is the ability to harness electricity in remote locations that are not linked to a national grid. A prime example of this is in space, where satellites are powered by high efficiency solar cells.
- The installation of solar panels in remote locations is usually much more cost effective than laying the required high voltage wires.
- Solar energy can be very efficient in a large area of the globe, and new technologies allow for a more efficient energy production on overcast/dull days.
- Solar panels can be installed on top of many rooftops, which eliminates the problem of finding the required space for solar panel placement.
- Another great pro of solar energy is the cost. Although the initial investment of solar cells may be high, once installed, they provide a free source of electricity, which will pay off over the coming years.
- Solar Energy Cons:
- The major con of solar energy is the initial cost of solar cells. Currently, prices of highly efficient solar cells can be above $1000, and some households may need more than one. This makes the initial installation of solar panels very costly.
- Solar energy is only able to generate electricity during daylight hours. This means for around half of each day, solar panels are not producing energy for your home.
- The weather can affect the efficiency of solar cells.
- Pollution can be a con of solar energy, as pollution levels can affect a solar cells efficiency, this would be a major con for businesses or industry wishing to install solar panels in heavily polluted areas, such as cities.
PS in Unicornacopia Land we just get power by double rainbows.
