It does not produce pollution. And the sun is free so it does not take up anything.

[Except that solar cells take a large amount of energy to create, there is a tremendous amount of waste in creating them and solar panels loose their efficiency in 20 years...and they don't vanish into thin air so plan on filling up a landfill]

Because sunshine renews itself every day. By using it for electricity we don't use it up. It comes back just as strong the next day. [There are only specific locations on the planet where this is true due to the amount of average sun exposure in a day]

Because you can never run out of the sun which is the source of solar energy.

It's only renewable as long as the Sun still exists.

[The bold honest truth. Solar failed in the 70s. It's efficiency has not improved significantly. The only reason it is cost effective is because the government is throwing our tax dollars away. It will never be cost effective on its own. If you want a clean truly renewable resource......BUILD A DAM]
