list out the uses of solar cell and it's limitation
Answers
Explanation:
Disadvantages of Solar Energy
- Cost. The initial cost of purchasing a solar system is fairly high.
- Weather-Dependent. Although solar energy can still be collected during cloudy and rainy days, the efficiency of the solar system drops.
- Solar Energy Storage Is Expensive.
- Uses a Lot of Space.
- Associated with Pollution.
Answer:
A solar cell is an electrical device that converts light energy directly into electricity with the help of photovoltaic effect. Solar cells are usually made limn semiconductors like silicon and gallium with some impurity added to it. When sunlight is made incident on a solar cell a potential difference is produced between its surface, due to which current flows in the circuit connected between the opposite faces of the semiconductor.
Two uses of solar cells are as listed below:
i. They do not require maintenance and last over a long period of time at zero miming cost.
ii. They are very useful for remote, inaccessible and isolated places where electric power Lines cannot be bid. Solar cell produces d.c. (direct current).
One dissoluunage of solar cell is listed below
i. The initial cost of a solar panel is sufficiently high.
