Solar Energy

Solar energy is the name given to any kind of abstraction of light and heat energy from the sun, and subsequent processing of that energy captured in some form usable by man, either directly for heating water or energy as electrical or mechanical. Advantages and disadvantages of solar energy:
Advantages:
- The solar power does not pollute during their use. The pollution caused by the manufacturing equipment needed for the construction of solar panels is fully controllable using the forms of checks currently available. The central require minimal maintenance. Solar panels are every day more powerful while its cost is declining. That makes it ever more solar energy a viable solution. Solar energy is excellent in places remote or difficult to access, since its installation on a small scale does not require a huge investment in transmission lines.
Disadvantages:
- There is variation in the quantities produced according to weather (rain, snow), and that at night there is some production, which requires that any means of storing energy during the day in places where the solar panels do not are connected to the transmission of energy. Sites in medium-and high latitudes (eg Finland, Iceland, New Zealand and southern Argentina and Chile) have a brisk drop in production during the winter months due to lower daily availability of solar energy. Places with frequent coverage of clouds (London), tend to have variations of daily production in accordance with the degree of cloudiness. The arrangements for storage of solar energy are inefficient when compared for example to fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas), the hydropower (water) and biomass (bagasse from sugar cane bagasse or the orange)
