Solar gives of no pollution and does not require constant digging up of the earth to fuel them unlike Coal. But Solar only works during the daytime when the clouds are not blocking the sunlight. Solar also only produces a very small amount of power. Most panels provide less energy over their twenty year life, then it takes to create them.

Why are solar power plants better than coal fired power plants?

because solar power is better for the earth. coal is a fossil fuel so it is getting scarce. wind powered is the best to use.


Is solar power plant is better than wind power plant?

Yes, solar power plants are better than wind power plants. The reason is that wind power plants convert wind into electricity, but if there is no wind, wind power plants won't be able to do their job. Solar Power Plants use solar energy from our entire solar system. There is infinite solar energy in the solar system, so solar solar power plants are better. Solar and wind do not produce any real power in terms of our needs. Solar is the worst of the two by a small margin. Typical payback, in terms of energy used to create and maintain a solar panel is longer then the projected life of a panel. Winds worst issue is the needed fossil fuel plants running in the background. This power is completely wasted unless the wind stops or slows below the running speed of the turbine. Wind also stops generating power at speeds above 32 mph. The fossil fuel plant again will make up this loss. The better alternative is hydro then either of these that provide little or no power.


Why do we need solar power plants?

Solar power is a great example of renewable energy, which can help reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, which will run out eventually.we solar power becuse to make stuff better

Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?

There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
