Don't know how to choose solar powered products? You might know this 

I have been following a post for a while on the advantages and disadvantages to solar power and wanted to share the results.Here are the results.

Advantages:

1. Solar powered is pollution free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation
2. Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels
3. Renewable clean power that is available every day of the year, even cloudy days produce some power
4. Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills
5. Virtually no maintenance as solar panels last over 30 years
6. Creates jobs by employing solar panel manufacturers, solar installers, etc. and in turn helps the economy
7. Excess power can be sold back to the power company if grid intertied
8. Ability to live grid free if all power generated provides enough for the home / building
9. Can be installed virtually anywhere; in a field to on a building
10. Use batteries to store extra power for use at night
11. Solar can be used to heat water, power homes and building, even power cars
12. Safer than traditional electric current
13. Efficiency is always improving so the same size solar that is available today will become more efficient tomorrow
14. Aesthetics are improving making the solar more versatile compared to older models; i.e. printing, flexible, solar shingles, etc.
15. Solar paver lights, solar road stud, solar traffic waning light, solar marine lights,solar garden lighgs are available to help with initial costs

Disadvantages

1. High initial costs for material and installation and long ROI
2. Needs lots of space as efficiency is not 100% yet
3. No solar power at night so there is a need for a large battery bank
4. Some people think they are ugly (I am definitely not one of those!)
5. Devices that run on DC power directly are more expensive
6. Depending ographical location the size of the solar panels vary for the same power generation
7. Cloudy days do not produce much energy
8. Solar panels are not being massed produced due to lack of material and technology to lower the cost enough to be more affordable
9. Solar powered cars do not have the same speeds and power as typical gas powered cars
10. Lower production in the winter months

There is more solar power that hits the earth every day then the current population can use in a year. Let’s keep working to harness this great power and put it to good use. What do you think?
