Why in india very less uses of solar energy ......uses by people????
please explain with state??
it will give you 20 points..
and I will mark you as brainlist. !!!
thank you☺☺

answer: -
The sun offers the most abundant, reliable and pollution-free power in the world. However, problems with solar energy, namely the expensive cost and inconsistent availability, have prevented it from becoming a more utilized energy source.
Solar power makes up less than 0.5% of all power produced in North America even though there are vast regions of the continent where the sun continuously shines. To harvest more of this free energy, we need to discover new materials, develop new production techniques and solve the problem of storing energy when the sun isn't shining.
What is hampering solar power has everything to do with cost. It is five to eleven times more expensive to produce electricity from the sun than it is from coal, hydro or nuclear sources. The first problem is with the cost of the technology
- Solar panels use expensive semiconductor material to generate electricity directly from sunlight. Semiconductor factories need 'clean' manufacturing environments and are expensive to build & maintain.
- The efficiency of solar cells is only about 22%. The rest of the sunlight that strikes the panel is wasted as heat. More efficient photovoltaic cells have been discovered (up to 43% efficient but these are still in their experimental phase and are expensive to manufacture).
It will likely take decades to discover new materials and methods of making solar panels less expensive. How long it takes depends on how much time and money is invested into research both by government and private industry.
