7 Benefits and 2 Drawbacks of solar power
What is solar power?
Solar Power is basically conversion of sunlight into electricity.
How it works?
Solar power systems use lenses, mirrors, and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam.
Just like we used magnifying glass to burn paper in our childhood days 😂
Benefits Of Solar Power
1.Support The Environment
The pollution in world is getting worse.
With the use of solar power we can help the environment by cutting electricity costs.
2.It's renewabe energy
Our current energy comes from fossil fuel and its draining fast.
Solar power is absolutely free of cost and its indefinite source.
3.Cut down electricity bill
Even if the people use solar energy just to cut the electricity bill, still it would be great step forward in humanity.
4.Solar powered utilities makes you independant
Solar utilities such as Solar mobile chargers, solar cookers You can directly use these kind of utilities.
Suppose you are homeless or travelling and you don't have electricity then you can charge your device under sun with solar charger as well as cook using solar coocker.
You can laugh at that however context is that solar powdered utilities makes you independant.
5.It's simple
Keep it simple stupid.
Most solar powered equipments are simple in nature and does not involve complicated equipments.
With less equipment there is less chance of accidents.
6.They are long lasting
Whatever your investment will be in solar, it’s going to be for at least 18–20 years if not 25 years.
Well, I have no proof of that. So can't say anything. 😐
7.Can help bring electricity to rural areas
Believe it or not there are many places where there is no electricity.
Grids may fail to reach a place,but sun doesn't.
There is some drawbacks as well, just like everything else!?
1.It requires sun (Duh?)
So in rainy/cloudy days you are out of luck.
2.They are not energy efficient
For example, solar coocker will take 3-4 hours to cook your food and solar charger will take more hours to charge your mobile compared to electric charger. .
So this was bit about solar energy from me:

You can buy TOPSOL tokens on bitshares:
The money brought up from TOPSOL will be used to build solar farms.
There are huge advantages over the drawbacks. It will change our life like never before.
If we discover an efficient way to store the solar power in generators and stuff so that we can reuse later when the sun isn't out or it's raining, this will be the next big thing, especially the way price of fuel is soaring these days and not to mention, scarcity of these regular fuels!!
Awesome thought, I hope something like this will happen.
Great post @libert
I agree with all you said here. Over the past 3-4 years, the renewable energy sector was on my rader. Solar installations around the world are going through the roof with China leading they way. This trend will continue as more nations without established/reliable power grids roll out better systems using solar.
The cost keeps dropping a great amount. The next step is to get the batteries in order which they are doing. Those, too, have fallen significantly over the past 5 years.
In 30 years, we will look back at how absurd it was to use fossil fuels. It is a legacy industry that is in the process of dying.
