What are the advantage of solar energy over energy sources based on minerals?
1 Answer
Solar energy is everlasting source of heat and light energy on earth. It is renewable source of energy which can be changed into electrical energy by simple means without pollution. So it decreases the energy scarcity in the near future but mineral fuel is non renewable source of energy so it may finish at any time and can cause energy crisis. Mineral fuel while burning produces large smoke which pollutes the environment . Hence we must increase the use of solar energy than the use of mineral fuels.
