What else can I help you with?
What are three reasons why is it a good idea to use solar power?
1. Saves you money in the long run, as you generate your own power and don't have to buy it. 2. Less energy spent bringing energy to you. 3. No pollution (greenhouse gases) compared with fossil fuel power.
Can Solar energy reduce carbon dioxide pollution?
If it replaces power that would otherwise produce carbon dioxide, then it must do so, because it does not emit CO2. This is not taking account of the process of manufacture of the solar panels-this may cause some pollution. Addition: The CO2 cost of manufacturing solar panels is cancelled out in just a few years of using the solar panels for energy, whether they are photovoltaic panels for electricity, or solar thermal panels for heating hot water.
What are 3 disadvantages of Solar Energy?
Varied power production - you can't generate power at night or in heavy rain storms or low power on cloudy daysCost of materials - photovoltaic cells are expensiveFirst thing on a home or business that is destroyed in any type of storm.
What are 3 types of solar storms?
Solar flares: intense bursts of radiation emitted from the sun's surface. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs): massive expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. Solar particle events: high-energy particles released from the sun that can impact satellites and astronauts in space.
What are the disadvantages of solar power?
1) Initial cost of the equipment used for the solar energy, although the costs are getting less expensive.2) A large area for the solar energy installation is needed to provide enough energy, so it is a disadvantage in locations where there is limited space. Because a large area needs to be harnessed, the costs to cover that area with equipment will increase.3) Pollution and clouds reduce the energy of the sun's rays.4) Useful primarily when the sun is shining, but that eliminates most of the cloudy weathers and night times.5) Location of the solar panels affect performance. If you're in a place with skyscrapers or other architectures (or landscapes), they may block out the sun.6) Some PV panels do not work well in warm temperatures. Keeping units cool requires energy.7) Batteries are required to store energy.8) Useful sunlight is very brief. Some areas will have very minimal energy input.9) Solar panels decay fairly quickly. Most are at 75% of their best efficiency in under twenty five year.10) The output is direct current. This must be converted into a useful energy before most appliances will operate on the power.Solar power is great overall, but some disadvantages are that solar panels, installation, and repairs are VERY expensive. Also, the weather can effect the efficiency of the solar panels. Solar panels can only process energy throughout the day, even though it usually has enough power saved up to run everything all through the night, which is another disadvantage. And pollution levels can also effect the solar panels efficiency.The disadvantages of solar is that the sun only shines about half of the time. During the dark hours of the day, no solar energy can be produced.Cost, energy needed to make panels1. Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime and sunny.2. Solar collectors, panels and cells are relatively expensive to manufacture although prices are falling rapidly.3. Solar power stations can be built but they do not match the power output of similar sized conventional power stations. They are also very expensive.4. In countries such as the UK, the unreliable climate means that solar energy is also unreliable as a source of energy. Cloudy skies reduce its effectiveness.5. Large areas of land are required to capture the suns energy. Collectors are usually arranged together especially when electricity is to be produced and used in the same location.6. Solar power is used to charge batteries so that solar powered devices can be used at night. However, the batteries are large and heavy and need storage space. They also need replacing from time to time.Photovoltaics (PV) panels have 3 major drawbacks1) they require a substantial initial investment ($15,000.00-$50,000.00 for a whole house set up)2) they have an effective life of 25 years or less3) they are relatively inefficient, processing only limited wavelengths of sunlight into electricitysure that they don't work at night also they don't work in a cloudy day of if it's raining.they are a renovale way to produce electricity, and they produce much energy if the weather's sunny almost the whole year, if you are in africa those solar panels are the right for you cheaper and you don't have to pay electricty bills every month!1.

What are 3 forms of energy you get from the sun?
The three forms of energy from the sun are solar radiation (light and heat), solar thermal energy (used for heating water and spaces), and solar photovoltaic energy (converted into electricity using solar panels).
