No. A method is still required to capture solar energy and convert it into a usable form, such as electricity. These methods incur costs in terms of materials, installation and maintenance. Although solar energy is potentially very cheap, it is not free.
After the initial set costs, solar energy on paper is "free" energy, it is very low maintenance and pollution free
Once the equipment has been paid for, solar energy is free.
It's not a sauce
Solar energy is the cheapest because it is free once you have bought the solar panels and after it is installed.
Several solar energy companies provide free energy in New Mexico. For example, El Paso Electric Company are one of the companies where solar power is free.
'Solar' means 'to do with the Sun' so you don't need to use the two words together. Solar energy is from the Sun, so it arrives free at the Earth. The only cost is in making and maintaining the receptors to turn the solar energy into useful energy for mankind.
Sunlight + solar panel = free energy.
Solar energy emits no carbon dioxide emissions. It is free and renewable.
Advantages of using solar energy are pollution-free, noise-free, on installation it produces free energy, clean and renewable. Disadvantages include high cost, energy dependent on sunlight exposure, power stations are expensive to build and devices powered by solar energy cannot be used at night.
Sunshine is solar energy. It is free if you collect your own solar energy because nobody legally owns the sun (and nobody ever will), therefore solar energy from the sun is free. However if you depend on a thrid party to deliver the energy to you from a solar power station, it will cost you a maintenance and delivery fee, to pay for the upkeep of the station. However, if you install your own solar panels rather than relying on a third party, it will cost you to install solar panels on your home, to convert your home to using solar energy and to take your home "off the system" (to remove your dependency from nationally-produced power). But it will not cost you anything to use solar energy from your own solar panels. In a couple of years, you would have produced enough personal energy from solar power to make the cost of the conversion worth it.
1.Most solar energy doesn't take any power to run and produces no pollutants. 2.Solar energy (sunlight) is free and virtually unlimited.
