With alarming levels of pollution
,
Accept space
,
the government has been compelled to look for alternate viable sources of
energy
. Since, Sun
energy
 is the cleanest
energy
 available it has become increasingly famous across the boundaries. As different nations around the world had recognised global warming as a global threat to the planet, they initiated certain steps in the direction to mitigate their carbon emissions in the air.
This
 has led to the emergence of various clean sources of
energy
 like nuclear, wind and solar. Amongst them sun power is the easiest, cheapest and most convenient to use in the households. Even though the installation of a solar plant in a house is a complex process, the long-term
cost
 benefit cannot be overlooked by a family.
In addition
, to being a cheap source, it is
also
 a renewable
energy
. And it can be harnessed indefinitely in stark contrast to fossil fuels. We have enough exploited traditional fuels like coal and others; and we are on the verge of their extinction. Thanks to our star Sun, that it is giving its
energy
 free to us; we just have to bear one- time initial
cost
 of installation and
then
 be tension free.
However
, there are some small downsides to it. Naturally, on cloudy days there is no sun,
then
 how do we harness
energy
 in these days. Though the solar
energy
 can be stored, its efficiency significantly reduces in monsoons.
Further
, the initial
cost
 is quite high for common people as compared to their annual electricity bill and many of them are not able to afford it. To sum up, solar
energy
 has become famous because it is clean, cheap and renewable source of
energy
, but it
also
 has a high initial installation
cost
 attached to it.
