Is solar energy a success or failure?

Answer 1

It's a success, in the way that it is true that solar energy does produce energy. However, there are many problems with this source of energy. For example, on cloudy days, it won't work as well, and at night it won't work at all. Some people save energy in batteries for nighttime from solar energy, but batteries can't hold all that much energy, and once they are used they have to be disposed of, which pollutes the Earth. So it does provide sufficient energy, given that it is sunny. Though, it isn't very widely used. Out of all the sources of energy, I believe only 0.5% is solar.

Answer 2

Solar energy has been a great success in recent years, with decreasing costs, increased efficiency, and adoption around the world. It is a clean and renewable energy source that has the potential to play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change. However, challenges remain in terms of storage, intermittency, and grid integration that need to be addressed to fully maximize its potential.
