WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY?

Solar cells are long lasting sources of energy which can be used almost anywhere.Solar cells provide cost effective solutions to energy problems in places where there is no mains electricity. Solar cells are also totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. Solar energy i does not emit any green house gases.It is produced by conducting the Sun's radiation – a process void of any smoke, gas, or other chemical by-product.Another advantage of using solar energy is that beyond initial installation and maintenance, solar energy is one hundred percent free.

Solar doesn’t require expensive and ongoing raw materials like oil or coal, and requires significantly lower operational labor than conventional power production.
