Advantages and Disadvantages of Solar Cells and Solar Energy

What is solar energy?

Energy extracted from the sun's rays is called solar energy. Solar energy includes both solar-produced heat and electricity. Aztech solar Electricity from the sun can be divided into solar and solar power. Solar is called the electricity you can produce yourself with the help of solar cells, and solar power is called the electricity that you buy through an electricity company.

The sun is a renewable energy source, which means that the energy source does not run out, unlike coal, oil and natural gas.

How does solar energy work?

You can produce electricity yourself with the help of solar cells. If you do not want to produce yourself, you can sign an electricity contract with solar power. Then it is a solar park that captures the sun's rays and converts it into electricity. On our pages about solar cells and solar power , you can read more about how it works, how to buy solar cells and how to sign an agreement with solar power.

Solar panels instead convert solar energy into heat. Solar heat is used, among other things, to heat hot water or to heat the pool.

Benefits of solar energy

- The sun's energy is constantly renewable, it will not run out in the foreseeable future.

- Solar energy produces no emissions during heat and electricity production. The conversion from the sun's rays to energy does not emit carbon dioxide or other emissions that affect the environment.

Disadvantages of solar energy

- Even if the electricity and heat production from solar energy does not produce any emissions, it affects the environment indirectly, for example during production, transport and possible maintenance.

Benefits of solar and solar cells

If you produce your own electricity with solar cells, you also get even more benefits.

More control over the price of electricity 

- With your own electricity production, you become less dependent on fluctuations in the price of electricity.

- You can make money on your surplus electricity If you produce more electricity than you use, you can sell your surplus to us. 

- Solar panels are virtually maintenance-free, as long as you maintain the inverter.

- You can apply for government support or ROT deductions when installing solar cells.

How does solar energy affect the environment?

The sun is counted as a renewable energy source, which means that the source does not run out, unlike, for example, coal, oil and natural gas. (Or, at least, it will not end in the next 4 billion years.)

Electricity production from solar cells does not produce carbon dioxide emissions in operation, just like wind and hydropower. On the other hand, the production of solar cells is quite energy-intensive.
