advantage: u get money from the government and u dont need to keep on paying.
disadvantage: aren't really fashionable. cost loads to buy. do not work at night.
In bulgeria a man and his family died because of rain which leaked through the side and caused the solar panel to explode house burnt down
ONLY BUY IF YOU LIVE IN HOT SUNNY COUNTRIES or if your poor
MY opinion COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEy
in sudan a man had free electricity for a year because of a drought

Solar power is used synonymously with solar energy or more specifically to refer to the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This can be done either through the photovoltaic effect or by heating a transfer fluid to produce steam to run a generator.
Fifty years ago, energy preservation primarily focused on practices such as using less electricity through energy-efficient appliances and implementing conservation measures like turning off lights and reducing heating. The oil crisis of the 1970s highlighted the need for energy conservation, leading to government initiatives promoting public awareness and the development of energy-efficient technologies. Additionally, many households relied on insulation and passive solar design to reduce heating and cooling needs. Overall, the emphasis was on manual conservation efforts and rudimentary technologies compared to today’s advancements.
Ancient Egyptians harnessed solar energy primarily through their architectural designs and agricultural practices. They oriented their buildings to maximize sunlight for natural heating and illumination, while also employing solar drying techniques for food preservation. Additionally, the sun was central to their religious beliefs, symbolizing life and rebirth, which reinforced the cultural significance of solar energy in their daily lives. This deep connection with the sun shaped their civilization's development and sustainability.
The Anglo-Norman French term which was variously spelled soler, solair, solere,solier, seler simply means an upper room. It derives from Latin solium, which has a number of different meanings.Essentially a solar was a private room on the first (upstairs) floor of a manor house or town house of stone construction, for the sole use of the nobleman and his family. It might be heated with charcoal braziers and there might be seats built into the window-openings so that women could sit and look at the view or have maximum light for needlework. Servants would not generally be permitted into the solar, except perhaps for the lady's personal maid.
Without our daily fix of solar energy, the Earth would soon approach the temperature of space - not a pleasant prospect. You have to only consider how much it cools down on a single winter night to have your answer. If your question concerns technical systems that usefully convert solar energy to other forms; solar water heating, photo-voltaic energy, etc; then we are at the dawn of using this energy source more usefully. In doing so, we displace other less effective means of doing the same job. Coal fired energy plants would be an example, as are petroleum powered vehicles.

Active Solar Heating and Passive solar Heating.
The two types of solar heating systems are active solar heating systems, which use pumps and fans to circulate air or fluid, and passive solar heating systems, which rely on building design and materials to capture and store heat from the sun.
Passive solar heating systems harness solar energy through the design and orientation of a building's windows, walls, and materials to maximize heat absorption. Active solar heating systems use solar collectors, such as solar panels or thermal collectors, to capture solar radiation and convert it into heat for space heating or hot water.
With south-facing glass, passive solar heat can be used in heating any home or building.
passive solar-heating system, and active solar-heating system are two types of heating system.. =D By: Wilfred Castro.
there isn't
solar collectors are parts of all solar energy systems passive systems dont move pumps, fans, trackers are parts of active solar systems

passive solar heating
Advantages of solar heating for swimming pools include lower energy costs, as it utilizes free sunlight, and minimal environmental impact due to its renewable nature. Additionally, solar heating systems can extend the swimming season, making pools more enjoyable year-round. However, disadvantages include high initial installation costs and dependence on sunny weather, which can limit efficiency in cloudy or colder climates. Maintenance can also be more complex compared to traditional heating systems.
