what are some of the benefits of solar power/energy?

Question

I NEED INFORMATION FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT....

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANY GOOD WEBSITES WERE I CAN GET INFORMATION?

Answer 1

I Hope you're not just starting a project due tomorrow....try going to google and keying in solar power benefits

Benefits - after installation it is free and readily available;
extends workday, improves health, reduces fire risk, not polluting, renewable and easily improved

Answer 2

Unless you ar constructing the panels yourself, they carry a significant cost. Photovoltaics also require numerous metals and elements that are toxic if mishandled. While safe enough for use, they have special considerationd for disposal at end of life. People would be suprised at what goes into photocell technology. The real advantages are you can reduce your dependence upon a power grid, so if storms come through and power lines go down, you are largely unaffected. Most of the powerline infrastructure is aging and much of it can fail without warning too. In spite of the up front costs and disposal costs, they will eventually pay for themselves if installed and maintained correctly. It becomes a matter of how long you plan to reside where you are over the amortized cost of the installations. Solar is just a facet to a total domestic energy solution. You may never get away from a grid system for industry though.

Answer 3

A solar power system can reduce or eliminate your building’s electric bill. Installing a solar power system is equivalent to prepaying for 40 years of power at a fraction of the cost you are currently paying. The cost/unit of energy you are currently paying is already higher than what you would be paying with solar. As rates increase this difference will only increase, which will result in further savings over the life of the system.

Answer 4

When people burn fossil fuels a bi-product carbon dioxide is made. This gas causes global warming usually trees would convert this gas to oxygen, but thanks to the gas hungry economy there is way to much Co2 and on top of that there cutting down to many trees and replacing them with best buys and targets. But solar power is an alternative and we won't run out of it any time soon. Some of the benefits are that a lot of green house gases won't be made, the planet will last longer since there won't be as many pollutants like nuclear and fossil fuel energy creates , and we won't run out of it eventually as mentioned earlier.
