Benefits of solar energy

1. The energy we receive from the sun is never ending and wide spread. The sun always exists! Even during winter season, some areas still receive a significant amount of radiation.

2. Energy from the sun is free and we do not have to pay for it. No fuel is needed to power it.

3. Solar energy does not pollute the air by releasing harmful gases.

4. Solar energy can be used to harness power in remote locations once sunlight is available.

5. Solar cells are long lasting and do not require a lot of maintenance.

6. Installation of solar panels are fairly easy. These panels are usually placed on roof tops which means that no space needs to be created.

7. New technological advances have increased the rate of efficiency of solar panels from 40% to 80%.
