Question

State any three advantages of using solar energy.

Answer 1

1. Solar energy is a renewable resource available globally.
2. It has multiple applications, including generating electricity in remote areas, distilling water in areas with limited clean water supplies, and powering satellites in space.
3. Solar energy systems require less maintenance. Most reputable solar panel manufacturers offer 20-25 year warranties. Additionally, the lack of moving parts prevents wear and tear. After the initial investment, the solar system requires minimal maintenance and repair costs.
4. It saves fossil fuels like coal and petroleum used to generate electricity and lowers electricity prices.
