(1,5pt)Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere. Togenerate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily beinstalled on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generatetheir own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess manyadvantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and easyto break down. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no movingparts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime.However, solar energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energyduring daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require largearea to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs abouttwice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cellsare expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more andmore people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy.
