What are the negatives of using solar power?

Answer 1

Energy is not produced at night and greatly reduced when cloudy. therefore a storage system is required or alternative power source.

Solar produces DC rather than AC.

Solar electricity is more expensive than most other forms of small-scale alternative energy production.

Answer 2

Some potential negatives of using solar power include the high upfront cost of installing solar panels, variability in energy production due to weather conditions, and the need for backup storage solutions for times when the sun is not shining.
