There
exists many different advantages of solar power related to using
solar energy on a large and small scale.
You are able to produce solar power for your home through
increasingly easier and cheaper methods related to this natural
energy source.
One of the main advantages of a solar power system for your home is
the lack of pollution given off by solar panels when generating
electricity.
The only pollution you could associate with a solar power cell would
be the production of the cell, and transportation of the cell until
it reaches your home, then maybe the use of electricity to power the
tools needed while your panel is installed and maintained.
An example of a disadvantage would be the initial cost (one of the
very few disadvantages associated with solar technology).
The initial investment of solar panels is quickly seen as a small
price to pay when you realize the savings you could make over the
coming months and years on your electricity bill.
Another
advantage of solar energy is that the energy source (the sun) is
completely renewable unlike the source which is probably
generating your current power supply.

Advantages of solar energy also include the ability to harness
power in remote locations.
This has proved a very important advantage of solar power in
order to bring electricity to some of the most remote places on
earth.
A home solar power system can make a huge difference to mountain
communities where it may be hard to construct power lines in
order to reach such areas.
Newer technologies have enabled us to store the solar
electricity we harness though the use of solar power battery
chargers. This is a huge advantage of why you should integrate
solar power to influence your home power supply.
