Solar energy is becoming more and more popular as a source of household energy in many countries around the world. Why is this? What are the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy?

In recent years, different types of green sources of

power

have been invented by scientists.

Energy

from solar

power

is gaining popularity every day as a major source of

power

in a number of households. Its environmental friendliness is one of the major causes of

this

trend.

However

, the high cost of installation and scepticism about its durability has stopped from being even more pervasive.

This

essay will discuss its benefits and drawbacks. On the one hand, a major disadvantage of solar

energy

is the initial cost of installation. The reason behind

this

is that its panel and batteries are expensive in comparison with the city's supply of

electricity

.

For example

, to obtain

electricity

from the town, one has to just apply for a connection and the supply mechanism will be available instantly which is chargeable on the basis of units consumed.

In contrast

, people need to install the relevant equipment to produce

electricity

from the Sun.

Furthermore

, the durability of the batteries and panels is

also

a major disadvantage in the production of solar

power

as their quality may be poor.

On the other hand

, an advantage of

this

power

source is that it is environmentally clean because it does not produce emissions of any type of gas into the atmosphere.

For instance

,

this

technology uses the Sun as its source, so there is no air pollution like in the case of fossil fuels. The

second

most admired advantage is the low monthly rate for

electricity

to households. House owners do not need to pay a high monthly bill for

electricity

because it is absolutely free. In conclusion, solar

energy

is becoming popular every day all over the world. No air pollution and low monthly

electricity

bills are the major advantages of

this

trend.

In contrast

, the initial installation cost and durability of

this

technology are its main disadvantages. I believe solar

energy

has more advantages for households than disadvantages.
