Quite expensive to make and install panels in the first place

unless you have a battery that is able to be recharged with lots of energy

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 main things that can reflect solar energy?

Three main things that can reflect solar energy are water surfaces, snow, and light-colored or reflective materials like white paint or metal. Water bodies can reflect sunlight, especially when calm, while snow has a high albedo, reflecting a significant portion of solar radiation. Reflective materials are designed to bounce back sunlight, minimizing heat absorption and maximizing energy efficiency.


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.
