Is solar power any better than normal power?

Solar power has advantages. One advantage of solar power is that solar power can be consistently used for power. Solar energy will never run out. Another advantage of solar power is that the energy is clean. Typical solar panels live for about ten years. Energy payback from a typical installation is about 40 years. As a result, most panels will never give back as much power as they took to build.


What benefits would a solar power system provide?

One benefit of a solar power system is that it is clean energy. Using the power of the sun to create electricity does not produce any pollution. Another benefit of solar power systems is the savings on the electricity bill.


Are there any clean source of fuel?

Sure. Hydro is clean. Solar power, hydrogen, several others, too. All forms of power give off heat, but there are lots of clean sources. Not economical, yet, but clean.


Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?

There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.


Why is solar energy a clean form of energy?

Solar energy is claimed as a clean form of energy as no carbon dioxide or nitrogen and sulfur oxides are produced during the operation of solar plants or solar cells (as is the case when using fossil fuels as coal, oil, or natural gas). However, solar energy is not absolutely clean if we look to the overall solar cycle including the production of solar cells or mirrors as well including the decommissioning of these solar plants or cells. Around 50 toxic elements are included in the production of solar cells or mirrors. In this regards, nuclear, wind, and hydro-electric power plants are even cleaner than solar power plants.


What are the inputs and outputs of solar power?

The input for solar power is sunlight, which contains photons of energy. Solar panels then convert these photons into electricity through the photovoltaic effect. The output of solar power is clean, renewable electricity that can be used to power homes, businesses, and other electronic devices.
