Solar Power

The basic benefit of using solar panels to produce energy is that it is a renewable source. Solar panels are also easily maintained. Once they are brought up to maximum efficiency
there is little else to do to ensure they are in working order. They are also completely silent. However, there are also some drawbacks in using solar powered energy. The main drawback is the cost of the panels. Another one is the amount of space that it would take to install enough panels to provide an efficient source of electricity. Solar powered energy is also intermittent because it can only be used when the sun is shining. Therefore at night, or even on cloudy days, solar panels will prove useless in producing electricity.
