Bad things about solar energy?
Solar energy is not bad, however, the production of materials to produce free, clean energy has its negatives. For instance, it requires a great amount of fossil fuels and using rare materials to make the solar panels. Chromium and mercury are waste materials that cause disposal issues.
What quiestions are there about solar energy?
A question about solar energy could be: what is solar energy?: what does solar energy do?:does solar energy do anything for the earth/planet?
What are the negative aspects of using solar power?
Disadvantages:One of the main disadvantages is the initial cost of the equipment used to harness the suns energy. Solar energy technologies still remain a costly alternative to the use of readily available fossil fuel technologies. As the price of solar panels decreases, we are likely to see an increase in the use of solar cells to generate electricity.A solar energy installation requires a large area for the system to be efficient in providing a source of electricity. This may be a disadvantage in areas where space is short, or expensive (such as inner cities).Pollution can be a disadvantage to solar panels, as pollution can degrade the efficiency of photo-voltaic cells. Clouds also provide the same effect, as they can reduce the energy of the suns rays. This certain disadvantage is more of an issue with older solar components, as newer designs integrate technologies to overcome the worst of these effects.Solar energy is only useful when the sun is shining. During the night, your expensive solar equipment will be useless, however the use of solar battery chargers can help to reduce the effects of this disadvantage.The location of solar panels can affect performance, due to possible obstructions from the surrounding buildings or landscape.So there we have the main disadvantages of using solar energy to generate electricity for our homes and businesses.
How could solar energy source be used?
You can use solar energy to power your house. You will need to get solar panels to convert solar energy to usable energy.
What is solar energy and where does it come from?
Solar energy is energy that comes from the sun.
What is a drawback to extensive use of solar energy?
it requires equipment and installation that are expensive
What is drawback to the extensive use of solar energy?
it requires equipment and installation that are expensive
What is a drawback to the extensive use of solar energy?
it requires equipment and installation that are expensive
Why is it hard to get solar energy?
It really depends what you want to do with it. You can sit in the sun and get warm - and you would be "getting solar energy". On the other hand, converting the solar energy to electricity requires specialized equipment.
What are the two limitations of solar energy?
Solar energy is only useful when the sun is shining. During the night, your expensive solar equipment will be useless and solar energy installation requires a large area for the system to be efficient in providing a source of electricity.
What the benefits of using solar energy?
Once the equipment has been paid for, solar energy is free.
What equipment is needed to obtain the solar energy?
The Sun and Solar Panels
Which object in our solar system requires safety equipment to protect your eyes?
The Sun.
What is the difference between an active solar home and a passive solar home?
Passive refers to a design that uses natural sunlight. It can be for lighting, as in skylights and large windows, or heating, where thermal glass is used. Active requires collecting solar energy with equipment ( pumps, storage tanks, etc. ) and storing or transferring the energy to where it is needed.
What is inexhaustible energy resources that is used to power the Hubble space telescope?
Solar energy, all space equipment uses solar panels
What causes the curtains of light?
solar wind solar wind
What are solar power supplies used for?
Solar power supplies are used for creating an energy source with solar energy. Solar power uses sunlight, and the heat generated to power various equipment.
