What are the advantages of solar energy sources?
Endless, scalable, and cheaper than ever. This year (2017) for the first time, the price of photovoltaic solar became cheaper than that of fossil fuels. There has never been a better time to go solar.
What do you think about solar energy?
I believe solar energy is a great alternative to be used as a power source as it helps conserve our other natural resources and does not pollute or harm the environment. Applying solar energy to machinery and equipment is also a very simply procedure and does not require as much attention and surveillance as other power sources such as fuel. Companies are well aware of the advantages of solar energy and has begun to market it accordingly; this in itself showcases how it is becoming more popular.
What is environmental impact of solar energy?
The environmental impact of solar energy is generally positive, as it produces clean, renewable energy without direct greenhouse gas emissions during operation. However, the manufacturing and disposal of solar panels can involve the use of hazardous materials and energy-intensive processes, which can lead to environmental concerns. Additionally, large-scale solar installations can disrupt local ecosystems and land use. Overall, when managed responsibly, the benefits of solar energy in reducing fossil fuel reliance and lowering carbon emissions typically outweigh these impacts.
Match the energy source in column 1 to its characteristic in column 2. A. Hydrogen Can only operate near rivers B. Solar power Harnesses the energy of the sun directly C. Natural gas Uses a fuel cell?
Nuclear- the largest no fossil fuel source in the world Oil- may run out in the next 100 years Hydroelectricity- uses running water solar power-uses energy directly from the sun
How is light energy used?
When using solar energy as a power source there are no fuel requirements to be fulfilled. Solar systems cause no pollution, they live a long life and have a high reliability together with a very low maintenance. The use of solar systems requires no supervision and provides low running costs. We can also locate a solar power generator at a very remote site. Disadvantages of solar energy: Using solar systems involves high capital cost, as large investments have to be made in buying the equipment. If power is needed 24 hours a day (or at night) battery storage is required, which also involves capital investments. The performance of a solar system is weather-dependent.
Is solar a fossil fuel?
No its not a fossil fuel
What kind of fuel does the solar car use?
The fuel a solar car uses is energy from the sun converted into electricity using solar cells.
How do you get solar power fuel?
from wind.
Is solar power an fossil fuel?
no it is not
Do solar cars need fuel?
No because they are powered by solar energy! Hence the name 'Solar Car'
Which would be better for on the moon fuel cell or solar energy?
solar energy
Why is the ability to produce solar energy is limited?
disadvantages of solar energy opposed to fossil fuel?
Is fuel in the form of wood an indirect source of solar energy?
No. Solar energy comes from the sun.
What are non-example of fossil fuel?
solar energy
Is solar cell a fossil fuel?
No. Solar cells convert solar energy into electricity. The main fossil fuels used today are natural gas, oil and coal and are taken from underground deposits. The energy produced by a solar cell is not fossil fuel based, however the materials used to produce the cell, many, are fossile fuel based.
2 ways solar energy can be used to reduce fossil fuel use?
