Solar energy is widely available and unlimited. No air or water pollution is given off when solar panels are used for energy production. It does not require transport of fuels or disposal of waste products. Solar energy produces electricity very quietly so it can be used in residential areas without creating noise pollution. Solar panels can be installed on top of many rooftops. Therefore, large amounts of open areas or not required for typical household use. Solar panels do not require a direct connection to the grid.
Solar energy has the ability to make electricity in remote locations that are not linked to the grid. This is more cost efficient than running long sets of wires into remote locations.
