Advantages of solar power

Solar power is increasingly attractive as an alternative method of generating heat and electricity for various reasons:

• Solar power is a renewable energy source and is available just about everywhere on Earth.
• It has zero emissions.
• It operates silently.
• It is highly reliable, requiring little maintenance.
• It produces power during daytime (peak) periods of energy demand.
• It can be used right where it is generated, reducing line losses.
• It can be used for many residential and commercial applications.
• It can operate cost-effectively in remote areas, as an alternative to more expensive fossil fuel sources.
