Solar energy can only be harnessed for various activities during the daytime when there is ample sunlight available.
The cost of deploying panels, collectors as well as solar cells for the generation of solar energy is very high and the manufacturing cost of the collectors and devices is also quite high.
Even though solar power stations are easy to build but the amount of energy harnessed here is very less in output as compared to the conventional power stations of the same capacity.
There are large acres of land required for the deployment of solar energy plants and for capturing the energy coming from sun. Large collectors are arranged together with each other so as to gather huge amount of energy.
In places when there is no ample amount of solar energy available, it is very difficult to produce electricity from sun’s energy.
