There are many advantages of using solar powered energy. Consider the advantages of solar power over using that of crude oil: Solar energy is a inexhaustible resource. Although we cannot use the power of the sun at night or on stormy, cloudy day, etc., we can count on the sun being there the next day, ready to give us more solar energy and light. As long as we have the sun, we can have solar energy (and on the day that we no longer have the sun, you at must least believe that we probably wont exist, either).

Crude Oil, on the other hand, is not renewable. Once it is gone, it is gone. Yes, we may find other kinds of resources to tap, but those sources may run out, as well.

Solar cells are very silent. They can extract energy from the sun without making a noticeable sound. Now imagine the sound that the great big machines that were used to drill for and pump crude oil make!

Solar power is non-polluting and kind to the enviroment. Of all the advantages of solar power over that of crude oil, this is, perhaps, the most important thing. The burning of oil releases Co2 and other greenhouse gases and carcinogens into the air.

Solar cells require little, to no maintenance (they have no moving parts need to be restored), and they last a long time.

As you can see, there are many advantages of solar power. The advantages of solar energy range from benefiting your wallet to helping the environment. There are actually only a few things that solar energy could be considered disadvantages.

Here are the disadvantages of solar power:

Solar cells/panels, etc. can be very pricey at the beginning.

Solar power cannot be created at night.

As you can see the advantages of solar energy create a much lengthier list that the disadvantages, and the disadvantages are things that can be improved as technology improves.
