its environmentally friendly/no pollution, and uses natural resources.
large consumption of land surface area.
After the initial set costs, solar energy on paper is "free" energy, it is very low maintenance and pollution free
Solar energy is often considered a clean source of energy because it generates electricity without emitting greenhouse gases during operation. While sunlight itself is free, harnessing solar energy requires an initial investment in solar panels and infrastructure, which can involve environmental impacts during manufacturing and installation. Overall, solar energy significantly reduces reliance on fossil fuels, contributing to a cleaner energy landscape.
Mining for minerals used in solar panels can have significant environmental impacts. This includes habitat destruction, soil and water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the extraction process can contribute to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and displacement of communities. It is important to consider these impacts when evaluating the overall sustainability of solar energy.
Some challenges with solar energy include intermittency (dependent on weather conditions), high upfront costs for installation, and the need for energy storage solutions. Additionally, the production and disposal of solar panels can have environmental impacts.
No, solar and nuclear energy are not the same. Solar energy is produced by harnessing sunlight using photovoltaic cells, while nuclear energy is generated through splitting atoms in a process called nuclear fission. Each technology has different methods of energy production and different environmental impacts.
