It is not currently a valid source on earth. The cost, in terms of power to create a panel, is more then the expected power derived over their short lifespans. They produce no real power as of yet.

Solar panels are fine for remote power or for backup, but are far from green due to their power to create verses power derived.

What does solar power help?

Solar power is a great renewable energy resource. Solar power helps by reducing the demand of the non-renewable energy to prevent depletion of such energy resources. Solar power also helps the environment by reducing the amount emissions from buildings. Tioga Energy uses solar power energy to help power many different facilities.

What are good things about solar power?

1. Solar Power is not tied to specific locations. Power can be anywhere 2. Solar Power is silent 3. Solar Power is more steady and readily available than Wind 4. Solar Power is easy to store 5. Solar panels are attractive. They can be made into art 6. Solar Power can be a very automated backup power 7. Many Governments help with the return on investment to make them a workable alternative. 8. They do not consume power from the grid like wind to get started or protect themselves. 9. They are considered by many to be green energy

Is home solar power a good choice?

Home solar power can be an excellent choice if there is space to place the panels. Why the panels are quite costly, the long term money saved is definitely worth the value.


Is solar power better then fossil fuels?

yes it is


What is solar power Where can I buy solar power?

Solar power is created by the sun. This form of power is a good choice because it renews itself daily, and does not use fossil fuels that are capable of being depleted. Solar power itself cannot be purchased, but you can find devices to capture this power from home improvement stores such as Home Depot.


How is solar power collected and stored?

Solar power is collected by solar panels, and stored in currents


Why are solar power plants better than coal fired power plants?

because solar power is better for the earth. coal is a fossil fuel so it is getting scarce. wind powered is the best to use.


Is solar power the safer choice of power?

yes its is a safe choice to alot of other energy sources including wind, coal, hydro and geothermal because they all have hazards


Is there anything better than wind power?

There are some better ones like water and solar power because you will always have them


Is solar power better than geothermal energy?

There really isn't a "better" type of energy but solar doesn't affect the Earth as much as geothermal energy because we always get the sun but with geothermal energy we have to use more resources. But then again if we have solar energy then when it's dark we don't have the sun to power things unless we stored it which is very complex. so as i said there really isn't a better energy source.


Is solar power better than coal?

If this is a question of green energy, then yes, solar power is better than coal because it is a renewable source. Coal is a fossil fuel that is non-renewable.
