Rising electricity tariffs have seen many business owners choose a solar system to harvest free electricity. However, the investment is enormous. It cost millions to install a set of the solar system to produce a certain amount of power and make it sustainable for 24 hours. DISADVANTAGES OF SOLAR ENERGY: Cost - The initial cost of purchasing a solar system is fairly high. This includes paying for solar panels, inverter, batteries, wiring, and for the installation. Weather Dependent - Solar panels are dependent on sunlight to effectively gather solar energy. Therefore, a few cloudy, rainy days can have a noticeable effect on the energy system. Also, solar energy cannot be collected during the night. Uses a Lot of Space -The more electricity you want to produce, the more solar panels you will need as it can only produced 400watt for each panel. It will require a lot of space. Associated with Pollution- There are some toxic materials and hazardous products used during the manufacturing process of solar photovoltaic systems, which can indirectly affect the environment.
