What Are The Advantages and Disadvantages Of Solar Power?

Have you ever thought about ditching your electric bill and getting your power directly from the sun? There are many pros and cons of converting to solar power.

On the plus side, even if it rains one day, the sun will inevitably shine another day. It is a replenishable source of energy. The oil which is used to generate our electricity is not automatically renewed. When you derive your energy from solar cells, they don't make a single noise unlike the very loud machines which pump the oil which is used to generate electrical power.

On the down side, solar panel and solar cells are expensive, so there is more of an initial investment. Although the sun is a replenishable source, if you have several cloudy or rainy days in a row, there is no way to store solar energy for that period of time.
