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 times, there has been an increase in the usage of solar

energy

in different countries.

This

essay would explain the reason for

this

and

also

the benefits and drawbacks of using solar

power

. So many countries are turning to solar

power

as their main source of

energy

. One main reason behind

this

is cost-effectiveness.

For instance

, in Africa where the temperature can rise up to 45 degrees, all

that is

needed for

energy

supply is the sunlight and a portal for connection,

consequently

saving huge amounts of money that would have been spent on

energy

conversion. Climate change is becoming more and more a reason to worry nowadays. An important benefit of solar

power

is that it is climate-friendly because using

this

type of natural

energy

as a source of

power

eliminates the need to carry out the hazardous processes involved in producing other sources of

power

.

As a result

air pollution is reduced and our planet can be saved eventually.

For example

, when I visited Rivers State, a city in Nigerian, I noticed that people living in that area mainly died from respiratory-related diseases. On

further

enquiry, it was revealed that

fuel and diesel producing plant was located in that area. These unnecessary deaths could be avoided if they adopted the use of solar

energy

instead

. While solar

energy

is highly beneficial, it's is not readily available especially in places with very cold climates. In conclusion, solar

energy

has become very useful in today's world.
