What are the advantages and disadvantages of solar energy?
Solar Pro Arguments • Heating our homes with oil or propane or using electricity from power plants running with fossil fuels is a reason behind global warming and climate disruption. Solar power, on the contrary, is clean and environmentally-friendly. • Solar hot-water heaters require little maintenance, and their initial investment could be recovered within a relatively short time. • Solar hot-water heaters can work in almost any climate, even in very cold ones. Simply choose the right system for your climate: drainback, thermosyphon, batch-ICS, etc. • Maintenance costs of solar powered systems are minimal and also the warranties large. • Financial incentives (USA, Canada, European states…) can aid in eliminating the cost of the first investment in solar technologies. The U.S. government, as an example, offers tax credits for solar systems certified by by the SRCC (Solar Rating and Certification Corporation), which amount to 30 percent of the investment (2009-2016 period).
