As a society, we use large quantities of fuel to heat vast amounts of water each day.The heated water is used for a variaty of purposeses, including the genaretion of electrecity. What advateges and disadvanteges are there to using solar energy to heat water? please help..
Advantages
- Solar energy is renewable (i.e. it will not deplete)
- Solar energy is clean (it does not give out pollutants)
- Solar energy is readily available (there is sunshine quite often)
Disadvantages
- Solar energy is difficult to harness (technology is kind of advanced now, but still, the energy absorbed is quite little)
- Solar energy cannot be stored (if we rely totally on solar energy and we can’t store it, what are we to do on a dark day or at night?)
It tends to lose efficiency at night.

wow……..
nice job …….
i think ,,
solar energy is costlier to harness than the conventional power sources……….
u need a lot of these cells to harness a good amount of power….
i think tat one cell gives you 0.6V.
it is unreliable as rainy days and cloudy days are always possible…
these so called solar cells are almost useless then…..
advantages———
hope tat helps
it does’t pollute(if u r an actvist of some sort)
and it is replenishable unlike most fuels
