2.Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels.
Answer:
Explanation:
Solar is pollution free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation
Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels
Renewable clean power that is available every day of the year, even cloudy days produce some power
Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills
Virtually no maintenance as solar panels last over 30 years
Creates jobs by employing solar panel manufacturers, solar installers, etc. and in turn helps the economy
Excess power can be sold back to the power company if grid intertied
Ability to live grid free if all power generated provides enough for the home / building
Can be installed virtually anywhere; in a field to on a building
Use batteries to store extra power for use at night
Solar can be used to heat water, power homes and building, even power cars
Safer than traditional electric current
Efficiency is always improving so the same size solar that is available today will become more efficient tomorrow
Aesthetics are improving making the solar more versatile compared to older models; i.e. printing, flexible, solar shingles, etc.
Federal grants, tax incentives, and rebate programs are available to help with initial costs
No trenching is needed since the solar can be close to or at the place of installationhe fuel used is quite cheap & available in abundant (Coal)
Less initial cost as compared to other generating plants.
It can be installed at any place irrespective of the existence of coal. The coal can be transported to the site of the plant by rail or road.
It require less space as compared to Hydro power plants
Cost of generation is less than that of diesel power plants
Economical in initial cost compared to hydro plants and running costs are less compared to gas plants or diesel plants
Thermal plants can be placed near load centers unlike hydro and nuclear plants. Hence transmission of power losses can be minimized
Thermal plants are able to respond to the load demand more effectively and supports the performance of the electrical grid
Steam plants can withstand for overload for certain extent
