Not many disadvantages. They are both reliant on continuous supply, so hydro power won't work without rain, and solar energy won't work if the sun doesn't shine.
Solar energy is not available when the day is cloudy.Wind energy is not available when wind is not blowing.

That depends on what you are using to capture energy, if you are using solar panels to get it, then you are converting solar energy into electrical energy.
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.
solar energy
We all are using solar energy directly or indirectly. Using solar energy doesn't only means using solar cell or solar heaters etc... but food is also a byproduct of sunlight, when we dry our clothes and grains insunlight it also a use of solar energy.
Hydroelectricity is a major energy source in the western United States, particularly in the region of the Hoover Dam.
1. the energy is renewable. 2. low cost
You only get energy while the sun is shining. You get fairly little energy for each unit of surface area, so to get useful amounts you need big collectors. If you want to get electricity from the sun, the solar cells are quite expensive.
Fossil fuels advantages :usually cheap electricityalready infrastructure , power plants already operatingfor oil/coal natural gas producing countries , exporting can definitely bring in some cash/money.Fossil fuels disadvantages:causing global warming and climate changecausing other air pollutioncosts money continually buying moreHydro and Solar advantages:free energyclean energy with no carbon emissionsHydro and Solar disadvantages:some expense to set up, but this is getting cheaper every year.
