What else can I help you with?
Does alternative energy cost less than normal power?
Nuclear is about the same as fossil fuel in total costs, but more expensive to build the plant. Solar and wind power are more expensive and have to be subsidised to make them economic for power companies to use
What use is most expensive to generating electricity?
When compared to coal and hydro. the installation cost for hydro is more at start, but maintanence cost is very less or vic versa (for thermal)
Is solar energy more or less expensive than fossil fuels?
More expensive to instal, cheaper to run
What is the consequences of solar power?
less energy used
Do solar panels generate power when it's cloudy?
Yes. If there is any light, even on a cloudy day, a solar panel can generate power. But the amount of power generated is much less when the solar panel is not in direct sunlight (about 90% less).
Why can't rely on solar power?
You CAN rely on solar energy. It is VERY powerful and it's unlimited. In about 45 minutes, the sun delivers enough energy to power all the machines on earth for a year. The only problems are that solar panels are expensive, even though they cut down your bills and eventually pay for themselves, and we can't harness all the sun's energy yet.
What is the most common type of power plant?
The most common type of power plant is one that uses fossil fuels such as coal, oil or natural gas. Less common power plants use nuclear, geo-thermal, hydro-electric, wind, solar, or other power sources to run the plants.
How can solar energy be improved?
solar energy can be improved by being less expensive. it also needs to reduce the ampunt of space it takes up.
How much energy is produced by solar power?
less then 1%
Which is efficient amorphous or crystalline solar cell?
As of 2007,* commercial amorphous Si solar cells convert about 8% of the solar energy that strikes them into electrical energy.* multicrystalline Si solar cells convert around 16% of the solar energy that strikes them into electrical energy* commercial single crystal Si solar cells convert about 22% of the solar energy that strikes them into electrical energy.So single crystal Si solar cells have the highest energy conversion efficiency.However, amorphous Si solar cells require less energy to produce and are less expensive than multicrystalline Si solar cells, which in turn require less energy to produce and are less expensive than single crystal Si solar cells.In some cases amorphous Si solar cells are more economically efficient (produce more power for the same initial price or initial investment in energy to produce).
What will happen if earth gets less solar energy?
we don't have power
What is the most common form of renewable energy?
Maybe solar or wind or water i dont know which is more common but i know these are quite common A2 at present hydro power is the biggest in countries that have it, otherwise wind power. In the US for example hydro is about 7% and wind is less than this, but wind power can be easily increased whilst hydro depends on suitable sites which have mostly already been exploited.
