Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy

The use of solar energy has many advantages because it is renewable and abundant, but solar installations in areas of fragile ecosystems pose some environmental problems due to the large areas they must occupy. Brisbane Solar Panels  

Advantage

Solar energy has the great advantage that the Sun provides an inexhaustible energy source. The facilities for its use do not pollute the atmosphere, do not produce greenhouse gases or water pollution. In addition, it does not produce acoustic contamination, since its generation is silent.

Another advantage is its wide availability, since even in remote places, which can be difficult to access to obtain energy from other sources, it is always possible to have solar energy. Likewise, its facilities can be small or large, suitable to supply the domestic needs of an urban or isolated house, as well as for large-scale generation plants.

Disadvantages

Despite its great advantages, the use of solar energy also has disadvantages. Among them, those derived from astronomical factors, which imply variations in the solar radiation received on the planet between day and night and throughout the year.

There are also differences produced by geographical factors, such as the variation in the reception of solar rays on the surface, whose angle of incidence is different according to latitude. Also, the thickness of the atmospheric layers influences, which is different at the equator and at the poles, as in the areas of high or low relief. All these factors, therefore, affect that the aptitude to take advantage of the energy of the Sun is differentiated according to the different places of the planet.

The use of this energy also produces certain indirect problems, such as the waste materials left in the manufacture of panels, which are toxic.

It is considered that the areas of best aptitude for the use of solar energy are warm deserts, because they are located in zones and have clean skies and low atmospheric humidity. This can mean an environmental problem, since solar plants require large spaces, which affects the ecological systems that are very fragile in desert areas; they also produce a visual impact that is a disadvantage for the natural landscape. Also, the concentration systems use significant amounts of water to clean the different elements of the facilities. In this case, the indiscriminate use of water from wells or aquifers seriously affects ecosystems in arid regions.

It can also be a problem that deserts are sparsely populated places and far from areas of high consumption, which brings with it the disadvantage of the transmission of energy over long distances.

The Benefits of Solar Energy in the Home

Our country has the highest solar radiation in the world , which outlines Chile towards the development of renewable energies in the industry as well as in the private and residential sectors.

One of the main alternatives of natural and environmentally friendly energies for home use is solar energy , which is becoming more common due to its multiple benefits, beyond the saving of money in energy.

One of the main advantages of solar panel systems is that they work with renewable energy from an inexhaustible source such as sunlight, so there is no quota for their use.

It is true that the initial investment in a system may be somewhat high, but the savings produced by using renewable energy is reflected month by month in the reduction of the cost of electricity bills .

Another benefit of the use of solar panels is that they are easy to install in homes , do not require any type of heavy wiring, have minimal maintenance and their useful life can reach approximately 30 years. In addition, the system does not emit sounds that cause any type of noise pollution.

In the event that the generation of solar energy from the panels exceeds the consumption requirements of the home, the excess electricity can be injected into the network and receive a payment for it, thanks to the Law of Distributed Generation or Net Billing.

A generator does not have to be lacking in style, the smartflower solar system is an attractive solution to install in the garden, and also have a higher energy production performance thanks to its intelligent solar tracking technology.

Solar energy is becoming a real possibility to achieve sustainability in homes, help take care of the environment and build a better future for all.
