They allow power to be obtained in many otherwise hard to reach places. My home is solar and wind powered due to the remote location and frequency we end up "off grid".
They have allowed cell phone communications, satellites and many military applications to be workable.

∙ 12y agoYour carbon footprint measures the amount of carbon dioxide that you and your lifestyle are responsible for. Riding a bicycle keeps your carbon footprint low. Driving a big car raises your carbon footprint. Using solar panels means that some or all of your electricity is being renewably generated, that is, without greenhouse gas emissions. This is good for your carbon footprint and good for the world!

What impact does solar energy have on carbon footprint?
The environmental impact of using solar energy is negative at the start with the cost of the materials and the cost of production of the equipment. It balances out after a few years and the impact is then positive.With solar hot water, it is the cost of the tank and the evacuated tubes on your roof, and the small electric pump to circulate the water. After that initial expense the only ongoing impact is the small electric pump. The initial cost should be recovered in two or three years, depending on your local price of fuel and after that the environmental impact is positive.With solar panels that generate electricity (PV, or photovoltaic cells), the cost of the materials and the cost of production is the negative environmental impact. Again after a few years that impact is balanced out by the positive features of generating your own electricity from the sun.A:Disadvantages: - When people are producing solar panels they have leftover stuff like Silicon Tetrachloride, and they have to dispose of it, which can pollute.When creating solar panels the manufacturers have to use energy, which pollutes the air, creates heavy metal emissions, and greenhouse gases.Can't use solar energy during the nightCan't use solar energy when it is very dense and foggy outsideAdvantages:Using solar panels doesn't pollute the air.Using solar panels doesn't release carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, or mercury into the atmosphere as many traditional forms of electrical generation do.The solar panels operate silently, have no moving parts, and don't release offensive smells.Doesn't contribute to acid rain, global warming, or smog.A:It provides power for our use while not continuously using resources. This reduces the cost and effects of obtaining fuel and transporting fuel, and once in place the panels do not generate polluting material while functioning.
What are solar pannals?
Solar panels are panels comprising large numbers of photovoltaic cells which convert light energy - in the form of incident sunlight - into electricity.
What are GPS satellites powered by?
Photovoltaic (solar) panels.
Analogy for the chloroplasts?
An analogy would be solar panels. Solar panels absorb the light and convert it into usable energy. So do chloroplasts. They convert it into chemical energy.
What is an example of how you can tell that light waves transfer energy?

What do you call a group of solar panels?
An installation of solar panels.
Are solar panels hot?
In general solar panels are not hot. when panels are heated by the sun rays panels get hot
What are the panels the space probes wear called?
The panels on a space probe are called solar panels. Solar panels are panels that turn light into energy so astronauts and cosmonauts do not need to change the batteries. Not only do space probes have solar panels, some cars, houses, and all sorts of electronics can use solar panel. Solar panels do not pollute. This is why they use solar panels.

What do you call a group of photovoltaic solar panels?
An installation of solar panels.
Do solar panels work?
Yes, solar panels do work but it depends what you are using them for. A lot of solar panels are for toys etc and they would be small. But there are solar panels suited, being larger, for industry or residential.
