eli5: Why do we not run heavily on solar energy as a society or at least in sunny places?
In: 8
There are a few reasons why we don’t rely heavily on solar energy as a society, even in sunny places. One reason is that solar panels are relatively expensive to install and maintain, especially on a large scale. Additionally, solar energy is only available during the day, and it can be difficult to store the excess energy that is generated for use at night or on cloudy days. Finally, solar energy is not always reliable, as weather conditions can affect the amount of energy that is generated by solar panels. Overall, while solar energy is a clean and renewable source of energy, there are still challenges to using it as our primary source of power.
