#energy #source #household #countries #world
In
this
 modern world, people try to invent so many things. Solar
energy
 is
also
 a result of that. It's very easy to get solar
energy
 by using panels and
also
 its cost effective, so people are more likely to use solar
energy
 than the other
energy
 sources. There are so many advantages of
this
energy
source
. The
first
 one is we can get
this
 factor very easily and
also
 people don'
t
 need to worry about power cuts done by the government. The
second
 main advantage of
this
energy
source
 is we can earn money by selling excess
energy
 to the government.
This
 is the main reason why most people like to use
this
source
 than the others.
On the other hand
, by using
this
energy
 we reduce pollution. While we are making charcoal
energy
 it releases a lot of smoke and into the air.
This
 is a huge threat to the air around us.
Also
, we use water to make
energy
 by making dams in rivers. By doing
this
, most water resources going to be empty.
Then
 we can'
t
 maintain our water cycle and the biodiversity. In
this
 competitive world we are trying to invent things that cause less harm to the environment. Because we can'
t
 survive without the environment around us. The main advantage of
this
 is we have to pay more money for the solar panels. The people who live in developing countries like Sri Lanka can'
t
 spend that much of the money. If these countries can give these panels for an affordable price,
this
 power
source
 will become more popular in the world than now.
