Advantages:
(1) lower marginal cost for increasing energy production (you don’t have to build a new coal fired facility to achieve a small increase in power production);
(2) fewer issues with greenhouse gas production
(3) distributed power production;
(4) some independence from the grid.
Disadvantages:
(1) dependency on insolation (it works better in Arizona than in the Yukon);
(2) initial installation cost for individual homeowner (but this is changing with new financing methods);
(3) sensitivity to weather
(4) it may require neighbors to be cooperative by not growing trees that block rooftop solar arrays;
ADVANTAGES=IT DOSENT RELEASE WASTE AND IT IS ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY,IT IS CHEAP AND LOW COT OF MAINTENENCE
IT IS DEPENDENT ON WEATHER,SOLAR POWERED CARS ARE SLOW,IT IS INFLUENCED BY POLLUTION AND CLOUDS
