Drawbacks Of Solar Energy

Hello sir, what are the drawbacks of solar energy? If any one has listed disadvantages of solar energy then please provide me?

Solar energy is an inexhaustible source of energy with the most potential as it will continue to produce solar power as long as the sun is there.

Solar energy is totally free, widely available, produces no pollution, no emission and no noise which means generating solar power produces no carbon footprint.


Here I’m giving you some Drawbacks Of Solar Energy:

Solar energy can only be harnessed when it is daytime and sunny.

Large areas of land are required to capture the suns energy. Collectors are usually arranged together especially when electricity is to be produced and used in the same location.

Solar power is used to charge batteries so that solar powered devices can be used at night. However, the batteries are large and heavy and need storage space. They also need replacing from time to time.

Solar collectors, panels and cells are relatively expensive to manufacture although prices are falling rapidly.

Solar power stations can be built but they do not match the power output of similar sized conventional power stations. They are also very expensive.

In countries such as the UK, the unreliable climate means that solar energy is also unreliable as a source of energy. Cloudy skies reduce its effectiveness.
