LEARNING POINTS:WHY SHOULD SOLAR ENERGY BE USED? COST: The cost of harnessing solar energy is decreasing steadily, indicating that as technology advances, the costs of using solar energy and maintaining a solar power system will lower gradually. This makes solar energy much more attractive than burning fossil fuels because of its increasing cost.
CLEAN: Solar Energy is clean, renewable and reliable. Solar power does not emit any harmful toxins or pollutants, making it very environmentally friendly.
CONVENIENT: Solar power is convenient to obtain, no excavation or pumping is required to access the energy source, as in fossil fuels. Since sunlight is readily available every day at least to some degree, it is easy to make use of its energy.
DURABLE: The reliability factor is important for any power source. Solar power systems can be expected to last a long time. They are tough-wearing and sturdy. With a proper system, solar energy can keep a house off the utility power grid completely with a consistent power supply.
SAFE: A solar power system is neither too dangerous nor too complicated for most people to run. It requires no supervision from the government or any other agency because it poses no risks.- THE POWER CHASERS!
