Bad Things About Solar Energy
Saturday, September 10th, 2011
What are some bad and some good things about Solar Power Energy?
For my science project
I need a list of good things about solar power engery and a list of bad things.
Full best answer given out!
There are various ways to convert the energy of the sun but I will address only solar cells.
Good things:
–No CO2 emissions or other chemicals
–Renewable
–Once the installation is built, it is “free”
–It generates electricity which is a flexible form of energy but …
Bad things:
– The installation must be in a sunny place
– No energy at night
– Under the Solar Panels, nothing grows and the space cannot be used for something else.
– Difficult to store the energy in large quantities
(example you store In July, August and you use the energy in December)
Future developments and research:
– very efficient solar panels ( currently at beat 20%)

– very efficient batteries
