Solar power generation has five major benefits:
First, it saves money. Compared to the higher cost of diesel power and high transportation costs, solar power is undoubtedly more cost-effective.
Second, it is safe and risk-free. Compared to transporting flammable and explosive fuels by trucks and planes, solar energy provides a safer environment.
Third, it has a long lifespan. The solar power generation device will not wear out and has a much longer life cycle than a diesel generator.
Fourth, it can store energy to meet special needs.
Fifth, solar energy production helps build strong communities.
Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy applications:
1. Advantages
(1) Universal: The sun shines on the earth and there are no geographical restrictions., no matter land or sea, no matter Mountains or islands are everywhere and can be directly developed and used without the need for mining and transportation.
(2) Harmless: The development and use of solar energy will not pollute the environment. It is one of the cleanest sources of energy, which is extremely valuable today as environmental pollution becomes more and more serious.
(3) Huge: The energy of solar radiation that reaches the Earth's surface each year is approximately equivalent to 130,000 billion tons of coal, and its total amount constitutes the greatest energy that can be developed in the world today.
(4) Long term: Based on the current rate of nuclear energy generated by the sun, hydrogen storage is sufficient to last tens of billions of years, and life on Earth is also about billions. from annates. In this sense, we can say that the energy of the sun is inexhaustible.
2. Disadvantages
(1) Dispersion: Although the total amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface is large, the energy flux density is very low.
(2) Instability: due to the limitations of natural conditions such as day and night, season, geographic latitude and altitude, as well as the influence of random factors such as clear , cloudy, cloudy, rain, etc., reaching a certain ground Solar irradiation is both intermittent and extremely unstable, which makes the large-scale application of solar energy more difficult.
(3) Low efficiency and high cost: At the current level of development of solar energy utilization, some aspects are theoretically feasible and technically mature. However, some devices using solar energy have low efficiency and high cost. FromGenerally speaking, the economy cannot compete with conventional energy sources. For a considerable period, the future development of the use of solar energy will be limited mainly by economic reasons.
