Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy which can be used almost anywhere.

To
generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun! Solar cells can easily be
installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate
their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many
advantages. Wind and water power rely on turbines which are noisy, expensive and
easy to brea down. Solar cells are totally silent and non!polluting. "s they have no
moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. #owever, solar
energy also has some disadvantages. We can only generate solar energy during
daytime because the system depends on sunlight. $esides, solar cells require large area
to wor effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as
much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are
expensive. Scientists are hoping that the costs of solar cells will reduce as more and
more people see the advantages of this environmentally friendly source of energy
