Solar power plants: advantages and disadvantages
Maybe you are still hesitant to install solar power plant. As a famous solar mounting manufacturer, here are the advantages and disadvantages of solar power plant for your reference.
The advantage of solar power plant is that in addition to being a renewable energy source, it can also be used to generate electricity for families, enterprises, industries and rural properties. One of its disadvantages is that it is inefficient in some places or when the incidence rate of the sun is low.
Advantages of solar power plants
The main advantage of using solar power plants is that they generate completely renewable and clean energy, but there are many other benefits, from helping the planet become more sustainable to helping reduce energy costs.
No emission of polluting gases
Because they have renewable energy, solar power plants do not emit polluting gases because their production is carried out in a clean and sustainable way. Therefore, it will not have an impact on the environment, nor will it release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, thus reducing the pollution level caused by other energy sources.
Long service life (over 25 years)
In addition to photovoltaic systems in homes, businesses and industries, solar power plants also have a long service life, running for more than 25 years. In addition, it has several advantages, such as simple installation and minimal maintenance.
Small footprint
Using ideal materials and working with the quality team on photovoltaic projects, solar power plants can take up a small installation area. Therefore, solar energy can be generated in a simple way, and in most cases only one roof structure is needed.
It can be installed in multiple places
Through distributed generation, solar energy can be generated at the consumption site or near the factory area as long as the rules on installed capacity and energy efficiency are observed.
Disadvantages of solar power plants
Although its operation is very important for the production of clean and renewable energy, solar power plants also have their disadvantages.
Solar power plants capture sunlight to generate light energy, but some factors can affect their operation.
Rainy and cloudy days can affect the efficiency of solar power plants
Because its main energy is sunlight, the efficiency of solar power plant will be affected in rainy or cloudy days, and its production capacity will be reduced without sunlight capture.
Solar power plants far from the equator capture less light and thus generate less energy
Due to the long distance from the equator, some solar power plants receive less sunlight, so they capture less, which leads to the damage of on-site solar production.
High purchase cost
Many consumers still can't afford to invest in solar power plants because of their high acquisition costs. However, its advantages, such as long service life and electricity saving, can generate return on investment within a few years after purchase.
