Question

The use of solar energy on large scale becomes harder because:

• A. Its installation cost is often more than conventional systems.
• B. Storing of large amounts of D.C. is not easy.
• C. It requires a huge area of exposure to sunlight to gather substantial energy.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above.

Solar energy production on a large scale is difficult on a large scale because:

1. Its installation cost is much more than conventional systems because of the delicate substances.

2. Output of solar energy conversion is DC and storing DC is difficult and costly on a large scale.

3. To efficiently supply the demands on large scale, huge areas of land are required to get sufficient exposure of Sun.
