When using solar energy as a power source there are no fuel requirements to be fulfilled. Solar systems cause no pollution, they live a long life and have a high reliability together with a very low maintenance. The use of solar systems requires no supervision and provides low running costs. We can also locate a solar power generator at a very remote site.
Disadvantages of solar energy: Using solar systems involves high capital cost, as large investments have to be made in buying the equipment. If power is needed 24 hours a day (or at night) battery storage is required, which also involves capital investments. The performance of a solar system is weather-dependent.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of energy is stored by plants when they take in light energy from the sun?
The light energy absorbed by plants is converted into chemical energy by chlorophyll. The energy is used to create a chemical called ATP, which stores and transports energy to cells.
Which energy changes takes place when a pedling cyclist uses a generator to light his bicycle lamp?
There are 2 energy changes that take place in this action: Mechanical to Light Energy and Mechanical to Electrical Energy. To explain further, when a generator, which uses mechanical energy, is used in turn to light up the bicycle lamp, the light emitted is light energy. At the same time, when the generator lights up the bicycle lamp, the lamp is light up using electrical energy, so mechanical energy also transformed into electrical energy. ===============================> heat and light (in the light bulb)
When light energy from the Sun strikes a leaf how is the energy conserved?
When light energy strikes a leaf then chlorophill (a) present in leaf absorb that light energy . By use of that energy photosynthesis occurs.
Is light kinetic or potential energy?
good answer but its none of them light energy is radiant energy
What types of energy does a burning fire produce?
A fire produces heat and light energy. Does that help any? No it really doesn't help Its radiant and thermal energy. -E
What are some uses of light energy?
some uses of light energy are Light energy is used in photosynthesis for plants because plants need light to grow. Light Energy can be used in producing electricity and it also be used for generating heat.
What is light energy and how is it used?
Light energy provides a vision to see. It is used by a luminous object.
What is light energy used for?
Light energy is used in photosynthesis (in addition to radioactive energy). Also **** noobs for not knowing dis.
What is the energy for this process of chloroplasts?
Light energy from sun is used. Chlorophylls capture light energy
What is the energy transformation of a traffic light?
A traffic light typically uses electrical energy to power its light bulbs, which convert the electrical energy into light energy. The light energy is then used to signal drivers on the road.
What type of energy is used in a TV?
light energy
What things that electricity can be converted into?
Electricity can be converted into a variety of forms of energy, such as mechanical energy (used in electric motors), light energy (used in light bulbs), thermal energy (used in heaters), and chemical energy (used in batteries).
What is the role of light energy?
Light energy is used to combine carbon dioxide and waterIs_light_energy_transformed_into_stored_energy_when_light_is_absorbedIs_light_energy_transformed_into_stored_energy_when_light_is_absorbed
How much of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy?
Only about 10% of the electrical energy used to light an incandescent bulb is converted into light energy. The rest is mostly given off as heat.
What is the source of energy used by the chloroplast?
Light energy is used . Sun is the source
Why would physics be used to study light emitted by a star?
Light is a form of energy.
How maganetic energy can be converted into light energy?
generators use magnetic energy to turn the spinning of the turbine into electricity, which can be used to make light (and therefore light energy)
