By far the biggest challenge is its intermittency; the sun doesn’t ‘shine’ for 24 hours a day. Whilst nighttime is of course predictable, and in daylight energy can still be captured in cloudy conditions, the amount of electricity generated inadvertently fluctuates throughout the day as well as seasonally, posing various challenges:
Therefore, based on the information mentioned above, the advantages of solar energy technology are a renewable and clean energy source that is plentiful, cheaper costs, less maintenance and environmentally friendly, to name but a few.
The choice of solar power generation is addressed in the current work which can be seen in the advantages stated below: Outperforms the fossil fuel: Solar energy production is due to the radiation energy comes from the Sun and is limitless while other conventional sources are limited.
A 2021 study by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) projected that 40% of all power generation in the U.S. could come from solar by 2035. Solar’s current trends and forecasts look promising, with photovoltaic (PV) installations playing a major role in solving energy problems like carbon pollution and energy dependence.
Mining of necessary minerals and manufacturing panels may produce pollution, adding to the overall carbon footprint of solar energy. The same applies to transporting panels to installation locations. These factors increase the impact of panels on the environment, perhaps negating some of the benefits they provide.
Solar’s current trends and forecasts look promising, with photovoltaic (PV) installations playing a major role in solving energy problems like carbon pollution and energy dependence. However, challenges related to solar energy threaten to slow growth and make solar less accessible to homeowners and businesses.
