Solar power is a great example of renewable energy, which can help reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, which will run out eventually.

How many solar power plants are there in the world?

As of 2021, there are over 700,000 solar power plants in the world. The number is continually increasing as more countries invest in renewable energy sources like solar power.


How many power plants are there in MN?

There are 125 power plants in Minnesota, which include facilities generating electricity from various sources such as coal, natural gas, wind, and solar power.


Why is it necessary that the solar concentrators used by solar power plants be able to move throughout the day?

Solar concentrators need to move throughout the day to track the sun's path, maximizing their exposure to sunlight. By adjusting their position, they can maintain an optimal angle for capturing solar radiation, which significantly increases energy efficiency and output. This ability to follow the sun ensures that solar power plants can generate more electricity compared to fixed systems. Ultimately, tracking enhances the overall viability and competitiveness of solar energy as a renewable resource.


Why is solar energy a clean form of energy?

Solar energy is claimed as a clean form of energy as no carbon dioxide or nitrogen and sulfur oxides are produced during the operation of solar plants or solar cells (as is the case when using fossil fuels as coal, oil, or natural gas). However, solar energy is not absolutely clean if we look to the overall solar cycle including the production of solar cells or mirrors as well including the decommissioning of these solar plants or cells. Around 50 toxic elements are included in the production of solar cells or mirrors. In this regards, nuclear, wind, and hydro-electric power plants are even cleaner than solar power plants.


How can the sun influence what happens on earth?

It produces solar power and gives light to our plants so we can survive.

Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?

There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.

Is solar power plant is better than wind power plant?

Yes, solar power plants are better than wind power plants. The reason is that wind power plants convert wind into electricity, but if there is no wind, wind power plants won't be able to do their job. Solar Power Plants use solar energy from our entire solar system. There is infinite solar energy in the solar system, so solar solar power plants are better. Solar and wind do not produce any real power in terms of our needs. Solar is the worst of the two by a small margin. Typical payback, in terms of energy used to create and maintain a solar panel is longer then the projected life of a panel. Winds worst issue is the needed fossil fuel plants running in the background. This power is completely wasted unless the wind stops or slows below the running speed of the turbine. Wind also stops generating power at speeds above 32 mph. The fossil fuel plant again will make up this loss. The better alternative is hydro then either of these that provide little or no power.
