Solar Energy, radiation produced by nuclear fusion reactions deep in the Sunâ€@trade;s core. Solar energy travels to Earth through space in discrete packets of energy called photons (â€Solar Energyâ€).
Disadvantages
• Some research and development not funded.
• Electricity produced is more expensive.
• Cannot be used as the only system in cloudy places.
• Energy has to be stored in batteries, hydrogen, water or other matter.
Advantages
• Clean, non-polluting.
• Renewable, endless supply that belongs to no one.
• Works best in the sunniest, often the poorest, parts of the world.
• Dovetails with other clean systems.
• Flexible and modular - systems can be resized.
