What is an advatage of using coal power over solar power to generate electricity?
coal power can be generated at night
Why is solar power a good thing?
because it doesn't create pollution and it is greener than coal and nuclear power plants :P
What is an advantage of using coal power over solar power to generate electricity?
In some parts of the world, there is NO sun (to speak of) for as much as six months! In these areas, solar power is out of the question, unless there is a monstrously large storage system that can hold the energy during the six months of sunlight!
What is stored in coal and petroleum which makes these resources very useful?
Solar energy is stored in coal and petroleum.
Why is solar power a better choice?
It is not currently a valid source on earth. The cost, in terms of power to create a panel, is more then the expected power derived over their short lifespans. They produce no real power as of yet. Solar panels are fine for remote power or for backup, but are far from green due to their power to create verses power derived.
Is solar power better than coal?
If this is a question of green energy, then yes, solar power is better than coal because it is a renewable source. Coal is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable.
Why are solar power plants better than coal fired power plants?
because solar power is better for the earth. coal is a fossil fuel so it is getting scarce. wind powered is the best to use.
What are the power sources in Ireland?
Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.Electricity, wind, oil, gas, turf, coal and solar are amongst the sources of power in Ireland.
How is coal energy better than solar engery?
Most forms of solar energy rely on daylight, so solar energy can't be used during night, coal fired power stations can be used day and night.Coal power at it's simplest (coal fires) can be used for heating rooms and houses.
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.
Does solar power include coal and oil?
No, Solar Power is generated from Sunlight only.
Why is solar power being developed?
Solar power is another way for us to harness energy. Natural resources such as coal and oil are limited resources and we are using them quickly. Solar energy is also better for the environment.
What is an advatage of using coal power over solar power to generate electricity?
coal power can be generated at night
What do solar panels replace?
coal, oil, and gas for electricity and transportation. Solar power and panels replace all fossil fuels and are much better for the earth.
What is better solar power or windmills?
solar power because it better!!
What is better solar power or battery power?
solar!!
Why are solar power plants better than coal-fired power plants?
Solar gives of no pollution and does not require constant digging up of the earth to fuel them unlike Coal. But Solar only works during the daytime when the clouds are not blocking the sunlight. Solar also only produces a very small amount of power. Most panels provide less energy over their twenty year life, then it takes to create them.
