it is environment friendly. But, the solar cells need service and repair time to time
The disadvantages of heat are that if there is no solar energy, then there is no heat.
disadvantages of solar energy opposed to fossil fuel?
Solar energy is not available when the day is cloudy.Wind energy is not available when wind is not blowing.
Disadvantages: May not produce enough energy to run appliances, solar radiation
solar energy cannot be collected at night or cloudy days, and when they turn the solar {sunlight} to make energy it releases a harmful chemical.
Some of the disadvantages of solar energy are the means of collection and the necessity of the sun. Solar panels can be very fragile and easily broken and they do not operate at peak efficiency unless aligned properly.
The disadvantage is that the amount of energy is small. Moreover if it's not sunny you won't get the energy.

Some disadvantages of solar energy include its intermittent nature (dependent on weather conditions), the need for large surface areas to generate significant power, and the initial high cost of installation. Additionally, solar energy production can be impacted by geographic location and the efficiency of solar panels.
Some disadvantages of using solar energy include the high initial cost of installing solar panels, the intermittent nature of sunlight depending on weather conditions, and the need for large amounts of space for solar panel arrays in order to generate significant amounts of electricity.
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.
There are two main types of thermal energy - solar and geothermal. Solar energy is renewable and sustainable, and after the initial investment, is free. Geothermal energy is renewable, sustainable, and clean reducing reliance on foreign energy sources. The disadvantages are mostly financial because of the start up costs. While solar is an individual form of energy, geothermal requires large generation plants. Also solar viability is dependent on the amount of sunshine the area receives.
