Possible Solution (2)

Solar Panels

-They herness energy from sun rays

Disadvantages:

  • Pollution can be a disadvantage to solar panels, as pollution can degrade the efficiency of photovoltaic cells. Clouds also provide the same effect, as they can reduce the energy of the suns rays. This certain disadvantage is more of an issue with older solar components, as newer designs integrate technologies to overcome the worst of these effects.
  • Solar energy is only useful when the sun is shining. During the night, your expensive solar equipment will be useless; however the use of solar battery chargers can help to reduce the effects of this disadvantage.
