Title What Are the Advantages of Solar Energy and Its Disadvantages - 50% to 80% Savings Are Yours
Description The advantages of solar energy are irrefutable, but in any case we should not be afraid to analyze possible disadvantages or flaws, if any.

So, when weighing the implementation of solar energy to meet your power needs at home, pause for a moment and ask yourself: What are my expectations regarding solar energy? and What do I want to use a solar power system for? You will spare yourself many disappointments.

Technically speaking, solar power systems are improving every day, but their implementation still requires a special commitment on your part, or maybe we could call it a certain enthusiasm for green matters.

Some other questions you could ask yourself are: Do I believe that solar power is a feasible response to the fossil fuel energy crisis? Is this really the answer to saving money at home? I think pv mounting systems will develop very well. The advantages of solar energy are many, but it is not the general energy choice yet and requires you to be open minded.

We can now examine the specific solar energy advantages and disadvantages in homes and business buildings.

Advantages of Solar Energy

Solar energy is free and accessible to anyone who chooses to profit from it. The sun sends off its warmth and energy to everyone, to nearly every region in the world. Some places have more sun than others but the sun's energy is not the property of anyone like fossil fuels.
Contrary to oil, natural gas and coal, solar energy is a fairly clean and pure combustion. For this reason it does not pollute the environment in any way. Compared to the sun's rays, the exploitation and usage of fossil fuels implies quite a negative influence on the Earth's environment.
After you install and use solar power regularly in a whole house energy system you can experience savings of 50% to 80% on your energy bills.
Costs of solar energy are not expected to grow in the future, unlike fossil fuel costs that are steadily going up.
Disadvantages of Solar Energy
The biggest deterrent for most people is the high investment required in advance to install a large solar power system for a whole house, when you have not even begun to enjoy any savings. But if you want to be able to collect solar energy and use it there is no way around investing in solar energy equipment, at least at the moment. This initial investment is why many fossil fuel power plants have not made the switch. It is estimated that the number of years to recoup your initial investment is four to five.
Solar energy can be problematic in some areas where large amounts of sunlight are not available. When the climate is mostly cloudy it can be harder to grab systematically the solar energy you need to power your electric system. The first example that comes to mind is Northern Europe, where the sky is often gray. But if you live in this region do not let anyone talk you into believing that you are not able to enjoy the advantages of solar energy. The continuous technical improvements to absorb sun's rays even when we hardly see them are amazing.
Anyway, the global picture is quite sunny, if you know what I mean. There are plenty of regions on this Earth blessed by the warm rays of the sun, which are naturally suitable for solar power systems capable of harvesting the sun energy.
Some are the Mediterranean basin, Australia, Mexico, and so many African and Asian countries and regions. In the United States, for example, the Southwestern states are great for solar energy because they receive lots of sunlight.

Summary of the solar energy advantages and disadvantages

To recap, the disadvantages of solar energy are the initial investment and that you live in a rather cloudy climate. Technology takes care of the second, and the first one depends on your personal finances. You can always start small with solar power kits and self-contained solar power systems, which are way cheaper.

On the brighter side, the advantages of solar energy are that you can save from 50 to 85 percent in energy bills, it is a clean burning, so to say, and last but not least, the sun and its free energy are not owned by anyone in particular.

As we can see, the advantages of solar energy clearly outweigh the disadvantages.
