Advantages of Solar Energy: What They Are?
Solar energy, as the name suggests, is derived from the sun (and not, the moon). The benefits of solar energy to mankind are manifold. Until recently, solar energy could be made use of only during the day. However, with the advent of new technologies, solar energy can now be tapped and used even during the night. Here, we will be looking at some of the major benefits of solar power. Solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy. Considered better than most other energy sources, solar energy is eco-friendly as well. Hence, the importance of sun as the storehouse of energy is expected to be on the rise in future as well. In addition to providing us with light and heat during the day, solar power can be effectively harnessed to generate electricity. This then can be used to light up our houses, during both the days and nights. Provided the system has a battery back-up and/or is grid-tied, this process is considerably eased. The electricity obtained from solar energy holds out mul
