Many places you go to will say that it is not developed enough or there are many disadvantages. This just isn't true. Some companies have got the efficiency up to 48% ( multijunction solar). They use a three laywer bandgap which allows photons of lower energy to pass through and pass on its energy. So the technology is there... Not many people are informed or really know what photovoltaics is. In plain simple words... The sun showers our planet with billions and trillions of photons a day and we have unending FREE energy. So.. Why isn't solar energy used more?? In my opinion, oil and natural gas companies say.. ooooo I can make 70-100 dollars a barrel of oil.. What is solar energy again? All major oil reserves are gone. Peak oil was years ago. Basically people say why spend the time and money on developing a new energy when we already have this[oil and gas]. It's up to my generation to do the research and do the development.
Yes, solar power energy is used quite often. More and more homes are selling faster that use the solar energy vs electric energy. The homes that use the solar energy have more value to them than with electric energy.
Solar energy could be used by more people if electronic devices that a lot of households use- like computers, TV's, iPods, radios, etc.- require to be used by solar energy. A really great way that people could use more solar energy is if more cars use solar power. If some people go around showing people the great ways that solar energy can save the Earth, it might also have more people use solar energy. solar energy can also be used for things in plug sockets.
not really, because solar energy can be non useful sometimes
depends on how you look at it solar energy is more highly developed but hydro electric is more efficient when it is used
Solar energy was first used on a large scale in the 7th century BC when magnifying glasses were used to concentrate sunlight to start fires. In more recent times, solar energy was used to power satellites in the 1950s.
Solar energy is used for heating and electricity.
how solar energy is used
The energy that is collected from the sun's radiation is referred to as solar power. Solar power can be used in a priority of applications. Solar power is becoming more and more prevalent.
Solar Energy
Solar energy can be used to produce electricity.
Yes, solar energy is used in Florida.
Solar energy faces challenges such as high initial installation costs, intermittency due to weather conditions, and the need for energy storage solutions. Additionally, the availability of space for solar panel installations can be a limiting factor in densely populated areas. Continued research and development of technology, along with supportive policies and incentives, will be crucial in increasing the adoption of solar energy.
