#energy #source #household #countries #world
Electrical
energy
 has been the mainstay for most countries for many generations, but of late many homes are resorting to solar
energy
.
This
 is becoming the trend for
cost
, regeneration and environmental reasons. Many people think that using the
sun
's rays to produce
energy
 is more advantageous than relying on the conventional electricity supply. The essay will discuss these issues in detail. Getting power from the
sun
 is seen by most as cheaper, safer, and environmentally friendly
besides
 being a renewable method of generating
energy
. Aside from the
cost
 incurred in purchasing the solar panels and setting up, with no
cost
 involved in utilizing solar
energy
, the household can get a steady supply of
energy
 as long as the
sun
 shines. As the
sun
 will always shine as long as the earth remains,
this
energy
 source renews every day and will not run out.
In addition
 to
this
, solar power does not negatively impact the environment.
Furthermore
, using solar
energy
 is safer as there is no risk of electrocution and other safety concerns experienced with electricity. The
first
 drawback with solar
energy
 is that in some countries do not have consistent sunlight throughout the year. Another disadvantage is that the
cost
 of installation for the solar
energy
 system is exorbitant and deters ordinary people from installing it. To sum up, the benefits of solar
energy
such
 its
cost
 to maintain and operate, safety, environmental friendliness and its
renewability
 far outweigh its expensive installation and the unpredictability of sunshine.
